What happens to the intensity of light when it enters a dnser medium?

There's no reason to expect that the intensity of light must necessarily change when it enters a different medium.


What happens to the light intensity as you change magnification of the objective light?

As you increase the magnification of the objective lens, the light intensity reaching the specimen decreases. This is due to the fact that the same amount of light is spread out over a larger area with higher magnification, resulting in lower intensity at the specimen.


What happens to intensity of a bulb if a wire is connected in between a circuit?

If a wire is connected in parallel with a bulb in a circuit, the intensity of the bulb may decrease because the current can take the path of least resistance through the wire, reducing the current flowing through the bulb. Conversely, if the wire is connected in series with the bulb, the total resistance in the circuit increases, leading to a decrease in overall current and a reduction in bulb intensity. The specific impact on intensity depends on the configuration of the circuit.


What happens to the intensity of light as the angle of the earth to the sun changes?

The variation in intensity results because the angle at which the sun’s rays hit the Earth changes with time of year. If you shine a flashlight at the ceiling, the region that is illuminated shrinks or grows depending on whether you point it directly at the ceiling or at an angle.


What happens to the intensity of solar energy as latitude increases 0 degrees to 90?

As latitude increases from 0 degrees to 90 degrees, the intensity of solar energy generally decreases. This is primarily due to the angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth; at lower latitudes (near the equator), sunlight hits the surface more directly, resulting in higher intensity. Conversely, at higher latitudes, sunlight arrives at a more oblique angle, spreading its energy over a larger area and reducing intensity. Additionally, atmospheric thickness and seasonal variations further affect solar energy intensity at higher latitudes.
