Does a Concave mirror bend light outwards or inwards?

A concave mirror bends light inwards towards a central focal point. This type of mirror can focus light rays to create a real or virtual image, depending on the distance between the object and the mirror.


Why does the sky change colors at sunset?

Because the atmosphere bends the light.


What colour would a green object be with a green light shining on it?

A green object under green light would appear green, as the light matches the object's color. The green light illuminates the object, causing it to reflect the same wavelength of light that it absorbs, resulting in no change in its perceived color. If the light were a different color, the object's appearance would change based on the light's wavelength and the object's ability to reflect or absorb that light.


What is the height of the shadow when the distance from the light source to object is 24cm?

It depends what angle the light is at, for example the shadow would be longer if the light was looking atr the object from the side (45 degrees) than it would be if looking at it from the top of the object(180 degrees).


Is there a relationship between the distance of the light source and the object?

Yes, there is a relationship between the distance of a light source and an object. The intensity of light decreases with increasing distance from the light source following the inverse square law. This means that the further the object is from the light source, the dimmer the light it will receive.

What is it called when light bends around an object?

It is called diffraction when light bends around an object. This phenomenon occurs when light encounters an obstacle or aperture that causes it to change direction and spread out.


A tranparent object that starts with letter P that bends light and breaks it up in the rainbow?

A prism is a transparent object that bends light and disperses it into the colors of the rainbow through refraction.


What lens bends light inward and when the light hits your eye makes object appear larger?

A converging lens bends light inward and focuses it at a point. When the light hits your eye, the image of the object is magnified, making the object appear larger than its actual size.


Which part of the human eye bends light rays the most when focused on a distant object?

The cornea is the part of the human eye that bends light rays the most when focused on a distant object.


What occurs when a light wave bends around an object?

When a light wave bends around an object, it undergoes a phenomenon called diffraction. This bending is more pronounced when the wavelength of light is comparable to the size of the object. Diffraction causes the light to spread out and create a pattern of interference, leading to phenomena such as light and dark fringes.


What indicates any curved and transparent object that refractacts or bends light?

a lens.


How does the lens of a light work?

Each concave lens bends light to make the object appear larger


How does the lens of a light microscope worke?

Each concave lens bends light to make the object appear larger


How does the lens of a light microscope work a. Each concave lens bends light to make the object appear larger. b. Each convex lens bends light to make the object appear larger. c. Each convex lens be?

b. Each convex lens bends light to make the object appear larger. The convex lens in a light microscope refracts and converges light rays to magnify the specimen being observed. By bending light, the lens creates an enlarged virtual image of the specimen that can be viewed by the observer.


What is a triangular shaped transparent object that refracts light as it passes through it?

A prism. It can be made of glass, crystal, or other hard clear material.


What is a transparent object that refracts light?

A glass prism is a transparent object that refracts light. When light enters the prism, it changes speed and bends, causing it to refract and separate into different colors.


What term indicates any curved and transparent object that refracts or bends light?

A lens.
