A beam of light can be seen as it passe through a?
a beam of light can be seen if it passes through reflective material.
What happens when light strikes a translucent objects?
Light travels in straight lines and when the light travels through a translucent object light bounces off in all directions due to multiple reflections by the microscopic irregularities inside the material.
Light which bounces off the surface of an object is called?
When light changes direction as it passes through a boundary.
What happens when you shine a light through a fog what is this called and why does it happen?
The fog is called a colloidal solution. When light is shined through this colloidal solution, the light scatters in all direction because of the substance contained in this solution type.
When light passes into more dense material it bends away from the normal?
When traveling through a dense material, light doesn't necessarily bend at all.The bend occurs at the boundary between two different materials, and whetherit bends away from the normal or toward it depends on both of their densities.
What happens when light scatters?
It is redirected as it passes through a medium.
What happens to light when it scatters?
It is redirected as it passes through a medium
What type of material scatters light as it passes through?
Glass or clear plastic in the form of a prism will scatter white light so you can observe the full spectrum of colors
Explain What happens when a beam of light passes through a colloidal solution and why?
When a beam of light passes through a colloidal solution it scatters because of tyndall effect.
A material through which nearly all light passes is?
A material through which nearly all light passes is called a transparent material.
What is caused when light bends as it passes through a material?
Light does not bend as it passes through a material. It bends when it passes from one material to another. This is called refraction. Light can also be dispersed, that is separated into its different colours, if it is refracted enough.
When light passes through a material and spread out what is the material?
It is opaque.but when it passes through a translucent material depending on the structure of the material it may also spread.
Light is refracted by?
when it passes through a new material
What is it called when light bends as it passes through a material?
refracted light
Why are glass material transparent?
light passes through glass
When all light passes through a material what is it called?
Transparency.
When light passes through this type of material it spreads out?
It is Delphic it is a type of rare material
