well, if you treat glass similarly to how you treat the sky, the glass refracts more blue light. I am not certain about this, but it makes sense. when you look at the sky, you see blue because blue light from the sun is refracted by the atmosphere more than other colors. When i look at glass (clear glass) i see blue when i look through the very thick parts of the glass at the right angle. therefore, blue seems to be refracted the most.

if anyone can improve this please do. AP physics C does not cover light waves

What color of light has the gratest angle of refraction when passing from air to glass?

Blue light typically has the greatest angle of refraction when passing from air to glass because it has a shorter wavelength compared to red light. This causes blue light to bend more as it enters the glass medium, resulting in a larger angle of refraction.


Refraction can separate white light into what?

Refraction can separate white light into the spectrum of visible light from red to violet.


How are refraction and dispertion demonstrated in light?

Refraction occurs when light passes through different media, causing it to change speed and direction, as seen when a straw appears bent in a glass of water. Dispersion is demonstrated when white light passes through a prism, splitting into its component colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) due to varying degrees of refraction for each wavelength. Together, these phenomena illustrate how light behaves when interacting with different materials.

Why is the rainbow colors red orange yellow green blue purple?

The colors of the rainbow—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet—are caused by sunlight being refracted, or bent, as it enters raindrops in the atmosphere. This refraction separates the different wavelengths of light, creating the distinct colors. Each color corresponds to a specific wavelength.

What is a piece of glass that can break white light into the colors that make it?

A prism is a piece of glass that can break white light into the colors of the spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) through refraction.

What is the difference between refraction and dispersion?

refraction is when light bends because of the change in desity, dispersion is white light that splits in a prism inot the colours of the spectrum (red, yellow, orange, green, blue, indigo and violet) so refraction is light changing direction and dispersion is white light splitting inot the colours of the spectrum (red, yellow, orange, green, blue, indigo and violet).

What color light is transmitted through blue glass?

Blue light. That's why the glass is called blue.


When white light is incident on a prism which one of the resulting color components will have the lowest index of refraction A. Green B. Blue C. Orange D. Yellow?

B. Blue. Blue light has a shorter wavelength compared to green, orange, and yellow light, which results in it experiencing greater deviation upon entering a prism due to its higher refractive index.


Is orange darker than light blue?

Yes orange is darker than light blue.


Why blue light bends more than red in a prism?

In white light various colors of light are mixed together, primarily blue yellow and red. When white light in air passes through a glass prism having a certain refractive index, all the differently colored lights have the same angle of incidence (θ) but each differently colored light has a different emergent angle of refraction, going from red light (at the minimum angle) to blue light (having the maximum angle).According to the refractive index formula n = sin θ / sin γ, where n is the refractive index of the prism, sin θ is the sine of the angle of incidence (θ) and sin γ is the sine of the angle of refraction (γ).I believe that is just a different way of describing the effect, not an explanation. Red light in glass travels at a lower speed than in air or vacuum. So when a wavefront hits a flat surface of glass at an angle, the end of the wave front inside the glass travels more slowly than the part of the wavefront that has not yet entered the glass. But the wave front must still be continuous all along its length, and the only way to achieve that is if the wavefront inside the glass proceeds in a tilted direction. The slower the light in the glass, the bigger the change in angle. Green light in glass travels faster than red and slower than blue. So the different colors are spread into different angles of refraction.


What do you see when a beam of light is broken into parts?

It would depend on what breaks up the light, and how much refraction occurs, but Ideally you would see light in its component colors, VIBGYOR Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red.
