What else can I help you with?
Is this true or false light travels faster through water than it does through glass?
True
What makes a pole seem to bend when you put it in a glass of water?
The reason for the pole appearing bent when put inside a glass of water is refraction. When a ray of light travels through one medium to the other, it tends to bend or deviate from its original path. Thus a light ray in this case, travels from the air through water, and then again through air and reach the eyes. Thus, the light ray deviates from its original path causing this phenomenon.
What does a magnifying glass do to sun's heat and light?
when light goes into a magnifying glass, it simply reflects the air in the centre. E.G. if you points the magnifying glass at a leaf, a hole in the leaf will appears because all the light that was absorbed by the magnifying glass is reflected into the line of sight of the leaf.
Is it possible to have total internal reflection of light incident from air to glass?
If you mean that the light is in the glass, and the air is on the "outside", then yes. The other way it isn't possible; for total internal reflection, the material through which light travels must needs have a higher refractive index.
Why can you see through a solid glass window but not through an opaque object like a wall?
Electromagnetic radiation passes through materials it does not interact strongly with and which do not present many interfaces where there is a transition between materials of different density.
How does light travels on a telephone call?
Light travels through what is fiber optic cabling. The cables are internally filled with long flexible tubes that are made of glass. The laser light travels through an individual glass tubing.
How light travels in glass and in wood?
Light travels through glass by being absorbed and re-emitted by the atoms in the material, allowing it to pass through. In wood, light is scattered and absorbed by the complex structure of its fibers, making it difficult for light to pass through, resulting in the material appearing opaque.
What broadband internet connection travels at the speed of light?
Fiber Optic Broadband is the type of internet connection that travels at the speed of light.
Is optical fiber ihollow or not?
The main part of an optical fiber is a glass fiber (NOT hollow) within another glass fiber of another type of glass. Both types of glass have a different index of refraction; the signal travels through the inner glass fiber.
Which color travels through glass faster red or blue light?
Blue light travels faster than red light through glass because blue light has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency, allowing it to pass through the glass with less scattering or absorption.
How does light behaves when it travels from air through glass?
When light travels from air to glass, it slows down due to the increase in optical density, causing the light waves to bend towards the normal. This phenomenon is known as refraction. The speed of light in glass is slower than in air due to the higher refractive index of glass.
When white light travels through a glass prism what colour is refracted through the smallest angle?
Red since red light travels the slowest
What happens to the speed of the light as it travels from the air through the glass and then through the water?
The light refracts due to the change in speed. The change in speed occurs because the light is travelling through a denser medium. So it will travel fastest through the air and slowest through the glass
The colour of light which travels through glass with the minimum speed is?
The color of light that travels through glass with the minimum speed is violet. This is because the speed of light in any medium, including glass, is dependent on the medium's refractive index, with shorter wavelengths like violet experiencing a slower speed.
Through which medium does light travel fastest air glass or water?
Light travels fastest through air, then glass, and slowest through water. The speed at which light travels through a medium depends on the refractive index of the material, with lower refractive indexes resulting in faster speeds.
What is the material through which light travels?
Light travels through a variety of materials, including air, water, glass, and other transparent substances. The speed of light can vary depending on the material it is passing through, with factors such as density and refractive index affecting how light behaves.
Can light travel through materials?
Yes, through some materials. It certainly travels through air, and you may have noticed that it travels through water and glass.Yes, through some materials.
