What else can I help you with?
Can light travel through air?
yes. if light didn't travel through air, then you wouldn't be able to see anything!
How are light waves and sound waves similar?
Light waves and sound waves are both forms of energy that travel in waves. They can both be reflected, refracted, and diffracted. However, light waves can travel through a vacuum, while sound waves require a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material, to propagate.
The speed of light will be minimum while passing through?
The speed of light is a constant in a vacuum and does not change, regardless of the medium it passes through.
Can light travel through matter?
Yes! Light travels through any material that does not completely absorb it. Visible light can only travel through materials that are called either transparent or translucent. Visible light travels through glass all the time. Visible light also travels through your cornea and the gel-like material that is in your eyeball. There are other types of light than visible light, such as ultraviolet (UV). UV is light that has more energy than visible light. This is the type of light that can give you a sunburn. There are even more energetic types of light like X-rays. They go through lots of material that visible light can't -- like skin and organs, but they do not go through bones or teeth very well.
How does light travel through a window?
Light travels through two things: either empty space, or space which contains transparent materials. Some paterials are only partially transparent or translucent, in which case some light does travel through it, but not all the light will get through.
What is it called when light cannot pass through something?
When light cannot pass through an object, it is called opacity. This means that the material does not allow light to travel through it and blocks the transmission of light.
What does not let light through?
There are many materials that light can not travel through which are called opaque objects.
When light is bent as it travel through an object it is called?
Refraction
The property of letting light pass through something is what?
The property of letting light pass through something is called transparency. This means that light can travel through the material without being significantly absorbed, scattered, or reflected. Materials like glass, water, and air are examples of transparent substances.
Does light need a substance to travel through?
No. It is radiation, not vibration. As electromagnetic energy, it can travel through a vacuum, and only through transparent or translucent material.
What do you call things that let light travel through them?
Materials that allow light to pass through them are called transparent materials.
What are waves that travel through space at the speed of light called?
All electromagnetic waves travel through space at the "speed of light". Light is one form of electromagnetic waves.
How do fiber optics work?
basically, the cable uses something called the critical angle, to keep light inside it. This means the cable can be bent while still allowing light to travel through it.
What word describes something like the earth which will not let light travel through it?
Opaque
What do you call an object that lets light travel through it?
An object that allows light to pass through it is called a transparent object.
A material that light can travel through is?
A material that light can travel through is called a transparent material. These materials allow light to pass through without scattering or being absorbed. Glass, air, and water are examples of transparent materials.
How does how does light travel through opaque material?
it cant travel through light.
