What else can I help you with?
What happens to speed of light when travel through plastic?
When light travels through anything that is not a vacuum, it will usually slow down.
What happens when light travels from solid to liquid?
nothing can do but if it is a laser means the solid will cut into 2 pices
What happens to the speed of light when it travels from air into glass?
The speed of light decreases when it travels from air into glass because the glass has a higher refractive index than air. This causes the light to slow down as it moves through the denser medium.
If light passes into a material where the speed of light is faster does the light bend torward or away from the boundry between the material?
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.
What happens to light waves when two materials do not have similar indexes of refraction?
Nothing happens to light waves at all. UNLESS the two materials happen to be right next to each other AND the light tries to cross FROM one INTO the other one. Then things get very interesting.
What the material through which light travels?
Light can travel through various materials such as air, water, glass, and even some types of plastics. The speed of light can vary depending on the medium it is traveling through, with the speed being fastest in a vacuum.
What happens to colors as light travels in water?
They disperse.
What happens to light upon meeting opaque and transparent materials?
opaque material: some light will get reflected and some will get absorbed transparent material: light will go though it
In what does light travel?
Light travels in a straight line through a vacuum or transparent materials.
Can light travel through materials?
Yes, through some materials. It certainly travels through air, and you may have noticed that it travels through water and glass.Yes, through some materials.

What happens to light when it travels through a prism?
the light travels though the prism and is reflected on an object and the light is to go though all side/faces of the prism and the light is to change colorTo make this more clear: The light goes through and separates into different colors of the rainbow.
Light travels in a material with greater .......?
Optical Density. Which often is caused by normal density.
What happens when light passes through vacuum?
it travels at c (speed of light in a vacuum)
What are three ways light travels?
Light travels in a straight line, at a constant speed in a vacuum, and can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed when it encounters different materials or surfaces.
Does Light travels more slowly through solid materials?
Yes. The more dense the material the slower light travels. Light travels the slowest in diamond at about a third of its normal speed of 300 000 km /s in a vacuum.
Materials that let no light pass though are called?
Opaque materials.
What does light travels though?
Light travels through the air. Light is a big mystery because it seems to be both a wave and a particle. Light will just travel through anything that doesn't block it.
