When light travels through anything that is not a vacuum, it will usually slow down.
Depends on the type of plastic.
When electrons travel through a filament, they collide with atoms in the filament material. These collisions cause the electrons to lose energy and heat up the filament, which then emits light. This process is how an incandescent light bulb produces light.
To determine if red and blue light travel at the same speed in plastic, one could shine both colors of light through the plastic at the same angle and measure the time it takes for each color to travel a set distance. If the times are equal, the speeds are the same. However, if there are differences in the times taken, it suggests that red and blue light have different speeds within the plastic.
yes. if light didn't travel through air, then you wouldn't be able to see anything!
A common technique in chemistry is spectroscopic analysis. This is where light is passed through a solution to determine its composition. The spectrometer will give a reading of absorbance or percent transmittance. The absorbance tells you how much light is absorbed, while the percent transmittance tells you what percentage of the light passed through and was not absorbed. If when you say clear you mean "colorless," all the light will pass through. The plastic is most likely not entirely colorless so only a small portion of the light will be absorbed, and it will have a high percent transmittance value.
Light waves can travel through a vacuum, air, water, and transparent materials like glass and plastic.
Yes it can. Unless the plastic and/or glass is too thick. Some types of glass and plastics make it harder for light to go through. ----------- The question is: Can light pass througth plastic or glass? The answer has to be either "both" or "glass", instead simply saying "yes"
When light passes through a prism, it is refracted, which means it is bent or separated into different colors. This happens because light waves travel at different speeds through different materials, causing them to change direction.
Glass, water, and plastic are three common solids that allow light to pass through them. This is because they have transparent properties that allow light to transmit without significant absorption or scattering.
A fairly small percentage. The exact percentage depends on how thick the plastic bag is, and the exact material.
it cant travel through light.
Light does travel through a vacuum.
Depends on the type of plastic.
Light will not travel through an opaque sponge.

Light can travel through undistorted
