well that is a very complicated question and you can get very detailed on both sides of te argument but i would say no because float would mean it would float on air or another substance on to substance and it always travels the same way at the speed light and is not affected by gravity on earth or not gravvity in space

∙ 14y agoTo varying degrees, of course it can. You can see through a glass of water, therefore the light must be passing through the water.
Different liquids will block different amounts and different types of light but most (very likely all...but I won't commit to that) will allow some light of some kind to pass through, at least if we count UV and the like.
So yes, light can very easily travel through liquid. Light will slow down through a liquid, however - an effect we know as refraction. This accounts for why partially submerged objects appear broken or distorted as they enter the water.

Is an transparent object is one which light can travel through undistorted?
Light can travel through undistorted
Give definition of a liquid that you can't see through but light will go through?
Milk
What do light waves travel best through?
Light waves travel fastest through vacuum, at nearly 30 million meters per second. Light travels more slowly through other substances such as air and water, and can be absorbed.
What does sound need to travel through?
Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot travel through a vacuum.
In the diffusion of liquids through agar what characteristic of liquid determines the rate at which it will travel through the agar?
The size of the molecules.
Light travel faster through solid or liquid?
liquid
Does light travel faster through liquid or solid?
liquid
What is a liquid light can't travel through?
Squid ink and blood are a couple that come to mind.
What can waves travel through?
Sound waves need a medium to travel through - the medium may be solid, liquid, or gaseous. Electromagnetic waves (including light) can also travel through empty space.
How fast does light travel through liquid?
The speed of light is always the same, the different speeds associated with a liquid are due to the absorbing and emitting of the light within the substance as it travels through it, which is not necessarily 'c' (2.99792458x10^10 cm/sec).
How well can light from the sun travel through a solid liquid gas and a vacuum?
I wouldn't say to well
Can light travel through brick?
no if an object is OPAQUE then light can't travel through it (unless it has a hole in it)
Why doesn't light travel through a vacuum?
Light does travel through a vacuum.
How does how does light travel through opaque material?
it cant travel through light.
Does light travel through sponge?
Light will not travel through an opaque sponge.
What can light travel through that sound cant travel through?
light can travel through a vacuum whereas sound cant
Does light travel though liquid?
yes
