You can hear sound through an open window from sources that are not yet in your light of sight because?
TYE541
- Sound wave reflect off of solid surfaces. They come in through the window then bounce off of the walls till they hit you.
- Sound wave bend around boundaries. Being a compression wave a sound wave induces lateral propagation of itself around corners.

Why does diffraction not occur when light passes through a window?
The window is too wide (relative to the wavelength of light)
Why can you see through a window but not a mirror?
Because windows allow light to pass through them and mirrors reflect light.
Can a window refract light?
Yes because at first the light is going through one medium, air, and then it travels through another, the glass window, and then goes back into the air, refracted.
How does light interact with a window?
Light will reflect and pass through a window.
When would you use translucent light?
A frosted window pane will allow translucent light to pass through your window.
What sources of natural light are there in a house?
the sun through a window, a candle's fire

Can light go through stained glass window?
it is translucent because it lets the light shine through
What is sunlight traveling through a clear window an example of?
Sunlight traveling through a window is an example of transmission. The window transmits light. It could also be an example of refraction, as the light is slightly bent when it travels through the window.
What happens when light hits a window?
Some of the light will pass through the window. Some of the light will be reflected by the window. A small amount of light will be absorbed by the window. This amount could be increased for certain wavelengths by UV or IR coating. The light that passes through the window will be refracted (or bent) slightly. However, it will not be significant for a thin window pane.
When would you use translucent light?
A frosted window pane will allow translucent light to pass through your window.
Can light go through transparent things?
Yes. Imagine your window. Light passes through does it not.
When light goes through a glass window the light is primarily .?
absorbed
