What other objects can make refraction happen refraction happen?

Other than what??? Refraction will happen any time light passes from one material to another.


Is the rainbow example of total internal reflection?

No. In fact, "total" internal reflection of sunlight is impossible inside a spherical raindrop.Rainbows are caused by the combined effects of refraction and (not "total") internal reflection, which concentrates the light near deflection angles of 40 to 42 degrees. Since each color is concentrated at a slightly different angle, we see arcs of color at the angles where each color is most intense.Snell's Law of Refraction says that the angle between the light and the surface normal is greater in the thinner medium (air) than the denser one (water). "Total" internal reflection occurs when light tries to exit the denser medium, but can't because the angle it would have to exit at is greater than 90 degrees. But this can't happen in a spherical water droplet, because the interior angle is always the same every time it hits, or reflects from, the surface.


Can light be reflected and be refracted at the same time?

That's what usually happens. That is, if light strikes a surface between two different materials (e.g., water and air), part will pass through (and be refracted); another part of the light will be reflected.


What occurs when light is dispersed?

Refraction occurs in the same 'direction' each time. The different colours are each refracted by different amounts. :)


How does the index of refraction affect frequency?

By the amount of time:)

Can light be reflected and refrated at the same time?

Reflection happens when light waves bounce on a reflective surface. Refraction occurs when light wave bends through two different mediums. If you can see through a window and see your image at the same time, it due to both refraction and reflection.

Can there be a vertical dilation and reflection at the same time in algebra 2?

Yes, there can.

Do weathering and erosion happen at the same time?

not always but alot of the time they do occur at the same time it is possible


What digital time reflects the same way as the other reflection?

11:11 does.


Does growth and development happen at the same time?

Yes, because it response to the development and it happen at the same time bacause of the theory that happen in particular time!


When was Time for Reflection created?

Time for Reflection was created in 1950.


Why a ray of light does not refract if it enters denser medium perpendiclarly?

Since the angle of incidence is zero the angle of refraction also has to be zero. Hence no refraction and it enters in the same direction. As we consider the concept of wave front, all the points on the wavefront would hit the glass surface at the same time and secondary wavelets would start at the same time and all of them travel with the same speed. So the common envelope to these secondary wavelets would be parallel to the incident plane wavefront. Hence no refraction.


What is the duration of Time for Reflection?

The duration of Time for Reflection is 900.0 seconds.
