How does light refract?
it refracts because it travels in different velocities and other colors of light travel in different speeds When light crosses a boundary between mediums, it changes speeds, and it bends or changes the angle that it is travailing at when it crosses the boundary.
Why can radio waves refract around buildings while light waves cannot?
that's easy .. you know that radio waves has very wide wave length ( 10^3 meter ) while light _ by which you mean visible light i guess _ has smaller wave lengths which ranges between ( 7000 and 4000 ) Angstrom (the angstrom is 10^-10 meter) also from the conditions diffraction is to pass by narrow slit .. and it depends on the ratio ( wave length of light / width of the object or slit )
How does a line of a marching band make a turn without getting out of step and how could this be related to the bending of light through a prism?
A marching band makes a turn by employing a technique called "pivoting," where the band members on the outside of the turn take larger steps while those on the inside take smaller steps. This allows the entire line to remain in sync and maintain formation. Similarly, the bending of light through a prism can be likened to this process, as different wavelengths of light refract at varying angles when entering and exiting the prism, creating a spectrum while still following the laws of refraction. Both phenomena demonstrate how coordinated movement around a pivot point can create orderly transitions, whether in marching formations or the behavior of light.
Why do stars not twinkle much in the winter?
Stars twinkle due to the Earth's atmosphere causing the light from stars to refract as it passes through different layers of varying density. In winter, the Earth's atmosphere is typically more stable and less turbulent, resulting in less twinkling of stars compared to other seasons. This stability reduces the amount of atmospheric distortion that causes the twinkling effect, leading to clearer and steadier views of stars in the winter sky.
What are the waves in the electomagnetic spectrum?
The speed of every electromagnetic wave is the same. That includes television waves, FM radio waves, heat waves, infrared light, green light, purple light and ultraviolet light waves, microwaves, x-rays, AM radio waves, bluetooth signals, taxi radio waves, garage- door-opener waves, and gamma ray waves ... because all of these waves are the same thing. Their speed is 299,792,458 meters per second, or 186,282 miles per second.
Can opaque substances refract light?
No, opaque substances do not refract light. Refraction occurs when light passes through a transparent medium and changes speed, causing the light to bend. Opaque substances do not allow light to pass through them, so there is no refraction.
Do windows refract light?
Yes, windows can refract light. When light passes through a window, the change in speed and direction of the light can cause it to bend or refract. This is why you might see rainbows or colors appear when light passes through a window.
Does a lens refract light?
a lens will refract light. a mirror will reflect the light.
What triangular shape is used to refract light into color?
A prism is a triangular shape used to refract light into its component colors.
Should eyeglasses reflect or refract light into the eye?
Refract light. They only reflect when you see a glare or ghost image
When light moves from air to water the light will?
Refract
What effects does a prism have on light?
Prisms refract light.
What effect a prism have on light?

Make you a sentence for the word refract?

Does a camera refract light?
Yes
Does prism refract light?
yes.
Which minerals refract light?
a lot
