What else can I help you with?
Why does a light ray bend when it travels from air to water what is this effect known as?
I think the word you're looking for is "refraction."
Is there a word for light refraction?
The word is rainbow. Rainbows occur when light is reflected inside droplets of water and then refracted out into the air.
What is the noun form of the word transparent?
The noun form of the word "transparent" is "transparentness." Transparentness can be defined as the state of transmitting light rays through its substance.
How many years is in 600 light years?
The answer is right there in your question. "Light year" is the distance that light travels through space in one year. In one year of time, light travels one light-year of distance through space. In 46 years of time, light travels 46 light-years of distance through space. It takes 364 years of time for light to travel 364 light-years of distance through space. Now, to return to your question: For light to travel 600 light-years of distance through space, that would take 600 years of time.
What the meanings of photosynthesis?
It is a Greek word. It is made up of the words φως (phos, meaning light) and σύνθεσις (synthesis, meaning putting things together in order to make something). Therefore the meaning is "using light to make something" (energy to grow, etc) Save

lasers
What is the word scientists use for the bending of light?
Scientists use the term "refraction" to describe the bending of light as it passes through different mediums, such as air, water, or glass. This bending occurs due to the change in the speed of light as it travels through substances with varying densities.
What is the word for something that gives out light without heat?
The word for something that gives out light without heat is "luminescent." The process is called luminescence, and the light produced is often referred to as "cold light."
What word is used for materials that light cannot pass through?
The word for materials that do not allow light to pass through is "opaque." This means that the material is not transparent or translucent, resulting in the obstruction of light passing through it.
What word means something that gives light?
