Whenever electromagnetic radiation of any kind (light, heat, radio, gamma rays and microwaves are all examples of electromagnetic radiation) travels from one medium to another, the radiation will be refracted because the speed of light in each medium is different.
When light travels from air into glass, the glass slows the light down, and the light refracts or "bends" toward the glass, depending on the angle of incidence. (The Angle of Incidence is the angle at which the light hits the glass. ) The amount of refraction (bending) also depends on the wavelength of the radiation, so when sunlight hits the glass at an angle, the glass breaks the "white" light into a rainbow of colors.
This is the same thing that happens with a real rainbow, when light hits water droplets and is refracted and broken into different colors.
What else can I help you with?
When light goes into a glass block most is transmitted some does not what happens to it?
When light enters a glass block, some of it is reflected back, some is transmitted through the glass, and some is absorbed by the glass and converted into heat. The amount that is reflected, transmitted, and absorbed depends on the angle of incidence and the properties of the glass block.
What happens if a plant goes through photosynthesis without carbon dioxide?
It can't.
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.
Can toughened glass be cut?
Toughened glass cannot be cut after it has been processed, as it will shatter into small pieces if any attempt is made to cut it. The toughening process puts the glass under high surface compression, making it resistant to cutting.
What happen when light hits a two way glass?
When light hits a two-way glass, part of the light is reflected back in the directionit came from, while part of it goes one way, part of it goes the other way, and therest of it is absorbed by the glass and goes nowhere.
What happens when sunlighht goes through glass?
it will go threw
What happens when you shine light through plain glass?
It goes out the other side.
When the sun goes through a magnifying glass what is it called?
When the sun's rays pass through a magnifying glass, it is known as focusing or concentrating the sunlight. This process can create a hot spot where the light converges, resulting in increased temperature at that point.
What happens if glass if not recycled?
It goes to the dump/landfill.
What goes and goes and never gets to the door?
Sunlight through the window.
What happens to food coloring as it goes into a glass of water?
It mixes.
What happens to the light that doesnt go through glass?
When light hits glass: -- some of it bounces off the glass surface and goes back away from the glass (reflection) -- some of it is absorbed into the glass and never heard from again (absorption) -- some of it goes through the glass and comes out the other side (transmission).
Is all glass transparent?
Take into account that there are more than 3 stages of matter, and glass happens to be its own state of matter. By definition, glass is anything that goes through a "glass transition". Rubber happens to go through one in its solid state (meaning it can shatter and not stretch if it gets too cold). Thus, since rubber is a glass, not all glass is transparent.
What happens to light when it goes from air into glass?
Light changes speed and direction when it goes from air into glass. This phenomenon is known as refraction. The change in speed causes the light to bend, which is why objects may appear distorted when viewed through a glass surface.
What happens in water droplets to cause rainbows?
The thing that happens in water droplets to cause rainbows is the light shines through it. rainbow9897654321: it is a prism that make it white is made of all color it reflects for the droplet when i goes through the glass its a rain bow that is filled with water its a experiment but you got to put it in the sun with a glass filled with water
If you take a glass pipe on a carry on bag and it goes through security will it alarm?
no its glass just clean it out
When light goes through a glass window the light is primarily?
When light goes through a glass window, it is primarily transmitted, refracted, and reflected. Glass allows most of the light to pass through (transmitted), while some of the light can be bent (refracted) as it enters and exits the glass. Additionally, a small portion of the light can be reflected off the surface of the glass.
