What happens when a light wave does not bounce off of an object?
Three situations may arise when a light wave travelling from an optical medium to another optical medium strikes the second medium. They are as follows: 1. The light ray may bounce off of the medium to which it was travelling with a change in angle.This phenomenon is also known as reflection of light. 2. The light ray may pass through the second medium with a deviation in its angle of incidence. This is also known as refraction of light. 3. The ray may be absorbed by the second medium. If a light wave does not bounce off of an object then either 1. or 2. may happen. That light ray enter the second medium, or it may be absorbed by that medium.
How light will travel from medium air to silver?
Light will not travel into silver.
Why bouncing back of light in the same medium?
reflection
What does light do when it enters a medium?
refraction occurs if the medium is water. or it bounces of a solid,my guess :D
Where does refraction occur?
Refraction occurs because waves move at different speeds in different bodies. Because a wave hits the other medium at an angle, part of the wave changes speed earlier than the rest, turning the waves. this is most obvious with light waves in water, but it happens with all types of waves in any change of medium.

What is a medium breakfast?

Do light waves have a medium?
no they do not have a medium.
Can light be transmitted with or without a medium?
Light can travel with and without a medium.
Is vacuum a medium of light?
Light can travel through vacuum, but it is not a medium.
How is the index of refraction of a medium related to the speed light of in the medium?
c divided by the index of refraction of the medium = the speed of light in the medium.
Why is the speed of light medium?
The speed of light is not medium: in vacuum, it is the highest speed that there can be. Hardly a definition of medium!
Is the speed of light in a medium affected by the velocity of the light as it enters a new medium?
No. The speed of light is determined by the electrical characteristics of the medium it's in, regardless of what medium it came from or what medium it's headed for when it leaves this one.
Is Peyton Manning light medium or dark?
Peyton Manning is light medium.
