If light passes into a material where the speed of light is faster, it will bend away from the boundary between the two materials. This occurs because light travels more slowly in denser materials, and when it exits into a less dense medium (where it travels faster), it refracts away from the normal line at the boundary. This behavior is described by Snell's law.

How quickly does water flow in a course grained material - fast or slow?

Normally the flow of water through a course grained material will be faster than through a fine grained material as the pore spaces between the grains tend to be larger.


Does material travel faster when the river is flowing down a steep slop or across flat land?

Material will travel faster in a river flowing down a steep slope. As the water slows down, the material will also slow down.


What material does sound travel through the fastest?

There are too many 'materials' to list but generally, sound travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. In other words, the denser the material, the faster sound travels.


Why diffusion become faster on heating explain?

So the molecules move faster and there will be more spontaneous spreading of the material which means that diffusion occurs. So the molecules move faster and there will be more spontaneous spreading of the material which means that diffusion occurs.


When the particles of a material move faster the temperature of the material goes up?

Yes, as the particles of a material move faster, they possess higher kinetic energy, which translates to an increase in temperature. This increase in temperature is a result of the increased vibration and movement of the particles within the material.
