What is the refractive index of silver and how does it affect the way light interacts with this material?
The refractive index of silver is approximately 0.47. This means that light travels slower in silver than in a vacuum. When light enters silver, it bends or refracts, and this affects how it interacts with the material, causing phenomena like reflection and absorption.
Is it true that the less curved a lens is the more it refracts light?
No, the amount a lens refracts light depends on its material and curvature. A less curved lens will refract light less than a more curved lens if they are made of the same material. The refractive index of the material and the curvature of the lens both play a role in determining the amount of refraction.
What do we call the materials that refracts light?
Refraction is caused when light changes the medium that it is moving through. Therefore any material that is transparent to light will diffract it.
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 happens when light passes into a material where the speed of light is faster?
-- Its speed increases. -- Its wavelength increases. -- It refracts away from the normal to the interface at the point of incidence.
What is a piece of glass that refracts light?
A prism is a piece of glass that refracts light by separating it into its component colors.
Can a mirror refracts light?
No, a mirror can not refrect. Instead, it can reflect. Water is an example of a substance that refracts.
What would be more affected underwater a convex mirror or a concave lens?
what do you call a curved piece of glass or other transparent material that refracts light
Does light change speed when it refracts?
Yes.
What is materials index of refraction?
It's (the speed of light in vacuum)/(the speed of light in the material) .
What is the materials index of refraction?

What happens when light passes through lens?
