What happens to the speed of the light as it travels from the air through the glass and then through the water?

The light refracts due to the change in speed. The change in speed occurs because the light is travelling through a denser medium. So it will travel fastest through the air and slowest through the glass


Where will be speed of light minimum-water or air or vacuum or glass?

The speed of light is minimum in Glass. It is because light travels at minimum speed in solids.


When light travels from air to glass its speed?

. . . decreases.


What distance does light travel in glass during the time that it travels 1.0 meters in vacuum?

Light travels at a slower speed in glass compared to vacuum. The ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in glass is called the refractive index of glass. So, the distance light travels in glass would be the distance it travels in vacuum divided by the refractive index of glass.


What happens when a light ray travels through air into glass?

When a light ray travels from air into glass, it slows down due to the change in medium density. This change in speed causes the light ray to bend or refract, according to Snell's Law. The amount of bending depends on the angle at which the light ray enters the glass and the refractive indices of the two materials.


The colour of light which travels through glass with the minimum speed is?

The color of light that travels through glass with the minimum speed is violet. This is because the speed of light in any medium, including glass, is dependent on the medium's refractive index, with shorter wavelengths like violet experiencing a slower speed.


What happens when a light travels from air to glass?

When light travels from air to glass, it slows down due to the higher refractive index of glass compared to air. This change in speed causes the light to bend towards the normal (an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface) at the point of entry. This bending of light is known as refraction.


When travels from air to glass its speed increases?

Of course not,it is not true. The speed of light decreases


When light travels from air to glass its speed is what?

The ratio between the speed of light in vacuum, c, and the speed at which light travels in a material, v, is called the refractive index of the material.The refractive index of air for visible light is 1.000293, so the speed of light in air is c / 1.000293 ≈ 299,705,000 m/s. The refractive index of glass, depending on the type of glass, for visible light is around 1.5, so the light in glass travels at c / 1.5 ≈ 200,000,000 m/s.


What happens to the speed of the light when it passes from air into glass?

The speed decreases.


How does the speed of light compare in water glass and diamond?

What happens when light enters a new medium in terms of speed?

When light enters a new medium, its speed can change. The speed of light changes depending on the optical density of the medium it is traveling through. In general, light travels more slowly in denser media such as glass or water compared to its speed in a vacuum.
