When light waves enter a new medium and bend what occurs?
When light enters a different medium, the amount that the light is bent as it enters the medium is determined by the medium's index of refraction.
Does the angel of refraction depend on the wavelength?
Yes, the angel of refraction does depend on the wavelength of the light passing through a medium. This is known as dispersion, where different wavelengths of light are bent at different angles as they pass through a medium, causing them to separate.
When there is no refraction of light and why does it happen?
There will be refraction when light passes from one substance to the other (for example, from air to water), when the two substances have different indices of refraction, and when light passes the surface at an angle. In other cases, there is no refraction.
When light passes from a medium with a high index of refraction into a medium with a lower index of refraction which direction does the light bend?
A medium with a higher index of refraction, like diamond, is more dense than the medium with a lower index of refraction, like air. If the ray of light is moving from the less dense medium (lower index of refraction), to a more dense (higher index of refraction) the ray of light bends TOWARDS the normal.
Is there a distinction between light reflection and light refraction?
Yes, there is a distinction between light reflection and light refraction. Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface, changing direction but not wavelength. Refraction, on the other hand, happens when light enters a different medium and changes direction and speed, bending as it passes from one medium to another.
When light enters a different medium the amount that the light is bent as it enters the medium is determind by the medium's index of?
When light enters a different medium, the amount that the light is bent as it enters the medium is determined by the medium's index of..........=refraction
What do you called when the light bends as it enters a different medium the process is known as?
The process of light bending as it enters a different medium is known as refraction. Refraction occurs because light changes speed when it travels from one medium to another, causing the light wave to bend.

When light enters a different medium, the amount that the light is bent as it enters the medium is determined by the medium's index of refraction.
When light bends as it enters a different medium process is know as what?

When light enters a different mediumit's speed changes as it undergoes what?
When light enters a different medium, its speed changes as it undergoes refraction. Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another, due to the change in speed.
What is it called when light bends as it enters a different medium?
This phenomenon is called refraction. Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another with a different optical density, causing a change in its speed and direction.
How is the index of refraction of a medium related to the speed light of in the medium?
c divided by the index of refraction of the medium = the speed of light in the medium.
How does the type medium affect refraction?
The type of medium affects refraction by changing the speed of light as it travels through different substances, causing the light rays to bend at different angles. The refractive index of the medium governs the extent of this bending, with denser mediums typically leading to greater refraction.
What does light do when it enters a medium?
refraction occurs if the medium is water. or it bounces of a solid,my guess :D
What are the conditions necessary for refraction?
Refraction occurs when light passes from one medium to another of different optical density. The speed of light must change as it travels from one medium to another at an angle, causing it to bend. The angle of incidence must also be different from the angle of refraction for refraction to occur.
