No. The amount that a particular medium bends light is related to the speed of light within that medium, not its transparency. The medium that light travels through affects the light's speed, and the greater the reduction of speed, the greater the angular distortion. For example, light travels faster through normal air than through glass or water, so when light hits a sheet of glass or a water droplet at an angle, it slows down and changes direction; when it hits the other side of the glass or water droplet and goes back into air it speeds up and changes direction again. if the two sides are perfectly parallel the light travels on in the same direction, but if they are not (as in a prism or a round water droplet), the light can continue on in a different direction. in fact, different wavelengths of light are deflected different amounts by entry into or exit from a given medium, which is what produces spectrums from prisms and rainbows from suspended water droplets. You can test this in a pool, pond, or bathtub: notice how when you look straight down into the water things are not very distorted (though they appear to be a little closer than you'd expect), but when you bend down and look into the water at an angle, objects that are straight look like they have a distinct bend in them.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between illuminated objects and non-luminous objects?
Luminous - bodies are objects which exhibit their own light.EXAMPLE:-SUNnon-luminous bodies are objects that reflect light from luminous bodiesEXAMPLE:-moonLuminous bodies are insects that give a light, such as the glow worm. Non luminous bodies do not glow o their own. it can also refer to things in space; such as planets, moons and stars
What objects do not create shadows and why?
Transparent objects becasue light passes through them. And it wont make a shadow
Is milk a transparent or translucent?
yes light passes through it but in very less amount,very less that we can't see it properly.since it is the white substance it reflect high amount of light and very less amount is entered.................
Is the color of transparent objects depends on the color they absorb?
transparent objects are transparent because your eyes tells you so. In reality, every body sees every colour differently as our eye cells are not the same. So, in answer to the question, yes, but you cannot see it.
What is a transparent material that refracts light rays?
A transparent material one that allows light to pass through with little absorption or distortion. If there is distortion, one might use the term translucent instead of transparent. More technically, one refers to a materials as being able to transmit light for a particular range of color as being transparent in that color range. Water is transparent for light in the range that the human eye can detect, but just outside that range, it becomes highly absorptive and would, if we could see, appear black. This is generally true for glass, air, salt and other materials which we would nominally characterize as transparent. Objects that absorb in a portion of the visible spectrum will transmit light that is a color formed from the portion of the spectrum that is not absorbed (portion that is transarent).
Do transparent objects reflect refract or absorb light?
Transparent objects allow light to pass through them without significant absorption. They reflect a small amount of light at their surfaces due to differences in refractive index but primarily refract light as it passes through.
Which objects light can pass through?
an objects light can pass through is transparent
Do transparent objects absorb most of the light that strikes them?
No, transparent objects allow light to pass through them without significant absorption. Instead of absorbing light, transparent objects transmit, reflect, or refract light, depending on their properties and the angle of incidence of the incoming light.
Is clear water transparent?
Yes, clear water is transparent, meaning that light can pass through it easily without being scattered or absorbed. This allows for objects or substances underneath the water's surface to be seen clearly.
Do transparent objects reflect light?
No, a transparent object would totally transmit all light through it. However there are no transparent objects, and objects which we think of as being transparent are in fact translucent. All objects absorb at least some light. Glass for instance will transmit about 90% or so of visible light and reflect the rest. A transparent object will invariably have edges. Those edges are typically polished to facilitate transmission. A polished surface will always reflect some light.
What are objects called that transmit light easily?
Objects that transmit light easily are called transparent. These objects allow light to pass through them with little or no distortion. Glass and clear plastics are common examples of transparent materials.
What word lets all light pass through?
The word you're looking for is "transparent." Objects that are transparent allow light to pass through them without scattering the light.
What word describes an object that allows some light through?
Transparent objects allow the complete passage of light. No light goes through an opaque object. Between these two extremes, objects are said to be translucent.
What kind of objects light passes though?
Transparent objects are the sorts of objects that light passes through. Translucent objects allow the partial transmission of light. Opaque objects prevent the transmission of light.
Clear transparent opaque?
Clear substances allow light to pass through with minimal distortion, such as glass. Transparent substances allow light to pass through without scattering, such as a clean sample of water. Opaque substances block light from passing through, such as a thick sheet of metal.
Light can come through but objects can not be seen clearly?
Transparent.
Objects through which light passes easily?
transparent ones
