When a beam of light passes at an oblique angle into a material of lower optical density?
The angle of incidence is the angle at which a ray of light (which is not at right angles to a surface) strikes a surface.
The angle of refraction is the angle at which a ray of light, having passed through a surface, travels through the body of a substance.
Normally the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction are not the same.

What does the term density and refractive index mean?
The optical density of a medium is not the same as its physical density. The physical density of a material refers to the mass/volume ratio. Optical density determines how much a light wave is slowed down as it passes through a medium. The more optically dense a material is, the slower that a wave will move through the material.The refractive index is a measurement of optical density. A medium with a low optical density, would have also a low refractive index.For example air, having a low optical density has a refractive index of 1.0003, whereas water, with a higher optical density, has a higher refractive index of 1.333.
Is the filtrate the body that remains on or passes through the filter paper?
The filtrate is the liquid that passes through the filter paper and contains the substances that have been filtered. The residue is the solid material that remains on the filter paper after the liquid has passed through.
What is the necessary condition for a molecule to exibit optical activity?
The necessary condition for a molecule to exhibit optical activity is for it to be chiral, meaning it cannot have a plane of symmetry. This asymmetry causes the molecule to interact differently with polarized light, rotating the plane of polarization as it passes through.
What is a Opacifier?
An opacifier is a substance that is added to a material, such as paint or plastic, to make it less transparent or translucent. This can help to improve the coverage and opacity of the material by reducing the amount of light that passes through it.
How does LED produce color?
LEDs produce color through a process called electroluminescence. When an electric current passes through the semiconductor material in an LED, it excites the electrons within the material, causing them to release energy in the form of photons. The color of the light produced depends on the specific materials used in the semiconductor layers of the LED.
When a beam of light passes at an oblique angle into a material of lower optical density the angle if incidence is what?
less than the angle of refraction.
When a beam of light passes at an oblique angle into a material?
The result of a beam of light passing through a material relies entirely on the optical density of the material. If its density is lower than air, then the angle of incidence will be less (more acute) than the angle at which it enters. The opposite is true for a material with higher optical density.
When a beam of light of passes at an oblique angle into a material of lower optical desity?
less than the angle of refraction
When a beam of light passes at an oblique angle into a material of lower optical densitythe angle of incidence is?
greater than the angle of refraction
Is optical medium and optical density same?
No, optical medium and optical density are not the same. Optical medium refers to the material through which light propagates, such as air, water, or glass. Optical density, on the other hand, is a measure of how much a material can refract or absorb light, which affects how light passes through it.
When a beam of light passes into a material of lower optical density the angle of incidence is what?
The angle of incidence is less than the angle of refraction when a beam of light passes into a material of lower optical density. This is because light bends away from the normal when entering a less optically dense medium.
How is a miterial's index of refraction related to its optical density?
A material's index of refraction is related to its optical density through Snell's Law, which relates the angles of incidence and refraction as light passes through the interface between two materials with different refractive indices. A higher index of refraction usually corresponds to a higher optical density, meaning that light travels slower through the material.
When a beam of light passes at an oblique angle into a material of lower?
less than the angle of reflection
What is the difference between material density optical density?
I was also looking for the answer to this question. I decided to see what Wikipedia had to say about it, and found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorbance This article kinda explains how they are related. Good luck!

What happens when light passes through glass with the same optical density as air?
Nothing. It continues to travel in a straight line.
The bending of a wave as it passes an angle from one medium to another?
The bending of a wave as it passes through an angle from one medium to another is known as refraction. Refraction occurs due to a change in the speed of the wave as it moves from a medium with one optical density to another with a different optical density, causing the wave to change direction.
