Would a incident ray bend when it enters a curved plastic container?
Xoxlov
Assuming the incident ray enters the container at an angle, yes, but it would also bend if the container was straight. The phenomenon you're asking about is called refraction. The equation describing it is called Snell's Law: sin(θ1)/sin(θ2)=n2/n1 where θ1 and θ2 are the incident and refracted angles of the light ray and n1 and n2 are the first and second medium's "refractive index," which is a number that can be looked up. If the incident ray is perpendicular to the container's surface, θ1 is 0 and there is no bend.
The only significance of the container itself being curved is that when the light ray exits the plastic, it may not bend back to the direction it started out with.

What happens to the speed of the sound and the light as it enters the plastic?
Depends on the type of plastic.
Why does light bend when it enters the eye?
The curved surface of the cornea turns light waves inward toward the lens (a sturdy tissue inside the outer eye) which focuses light on the retina at the back of the inner eye.

Why do you think flasks with curved necks are important?
Flasks with curved necks are important because they are designed to fit the human hand making them easier to grip and pour from. Additionally the curved neck allows for a smoother pour and helps prevent spills. Lastly the curved neck helps to reduce the amount of air that enters the flask which helps to preserve and protect the contents.

What is a term that means reflected light?
The light which enters is called the incident ray and the reflected light is called the reflected ray.
What causes farsightedness?
When light enters the eye and it focuses behind the retina instead of directly on it, you have farsightedness. Either your eye is too short, your cornea is not curved enough, or your lens sits farther back than it should.

What does stopping down the lens' mean?
That means increasing the f-stop (which actually reduces the amount of light that passes through the lens). Since the lens is curved, the result of increasing the f-stop usually is that just about everything is in focus (huge depth of field or DOF) because the surface area of the lens being used is minimal and thus less "curved" where the light enters.
Where is the maf sensor on 92 Acura Vigor?
If you follow the tube running from your air filter box to the engine,it is located just above the point where the plastic hose/tube enters the engine.
How does colorbond penetrate deep into plastic vinyl and leather?
Colorbond is a paint that can fill cracks in many different materials. When the paint enters the crack it form a complete molecular bond that cannot be reversed.
Are matals normally used in their elastic or plastic range?
ELASTIC!@!!!! No offense but if you know what plastic and elastic deformation is you should know that once a metal enters its plastic range it cannot return to its original length. You should also realize that each successive loading cycle will eventually cause the metal to fail. An example of this is bending a paper clip back and forth until it breaks.
What happens when incident rays of a convex lens converge?
You mean the entering rays into the convex lens is already in convergence mode. Ok. Now as it enters into the convex lens convergence would be increased as convex lens would do only converging phenomenon.

In the 1967 Chevrolet Impala, the fuel filter is located where the fuel line enters the carburetor. The fuel filter is a cartridge type and is small in size. Note the position of the filter and tension spring when removing to be sure it goes back together the same way.
