Assuming the incident ray enters the container at an angle, yes, but it would also bend if the container was straight. The phenomenon you're asking about is called refraction. The equation describing it is called Snell's Law: sin(θ1)/sin(θ2)=n2/n1 where θ1 and θ2 are the incident and refracted angles of the light ray and n1 and n2 are the first and second medium's "refractive index," which is a number that can be looked up. If the incident ray is perpendicular to the container's surface, θ1 is 0 and there is no bend.
The only significance of the container itself being curved is that when the light ray exits the plastic, it may not bend back to the direction it started out with.

What happens to the speed of the sound and the light as it enters the plastic?
Depends on the type of plastic.
Why does light bend when it enters the eye?
The curved surface of the cornea turns light waves inward toward the lens (a sturdy tissue inside the outer eye) which focuses light on the retina at the back of the inner eye.

What guard cells are forced into a curved shape when water pressure becomes?
Guard cells become curved when water pressure within them increases, causing them to swell. This swelling occurs due to osmosis, where water enters the guard cells, resulting in turgor pressure that forces them to bend. As the guard cells curve outward, they open the stomata, allowing gas exchange for photosynthesis and transpiration to occur. Conversely, when water pressure decreases, the guard cells become flaccid and the stomata close.
What type of radiation enters the greenhouse?
Solar radiation, primarily in the form of visible light and some infrared radiation, enters the greenhouse. This radiation passes through the transparent materials of the greenhouse, such as glass or plastic. Once inside, the light is absorbed by plants and surfaces, which then emit heat in the form of infrared radiation. The greenhouse's structure traps this heat, creating a warmer environment conducive to plant growth.

Why do you think flasks with curved necks are important?
Flasks with curved necks are important because they are designed to fit the human hand making them easier to grip and pour from. Additionally the curved neck allows for a smoother pour and helps prevent spills. Lastly the curved neck helps to reduce the amount of air that enters the flask which helps to preserve and protect the contents.

What is a term that means reflected light?
The light which enters is called the incident ray and the reflected light is called the reflected ray.

What is a closed glass container with earth in it for growing plants starting with terra?
A closed glass container with earth for growing plants starting with "terra" is called a terrarium. It creates a self-sustaining ecosystem as sunlight enters the container, and moisture is recycled through condensation within the enclosed environment, providing a unique and low-maintenance way to grow plants.
Why does a light ray incident on a rectangular glass slab immersed in any medium emerges parallel to itself?
When a light ray enters a rectangular glass slab at an angle, it bends towards the normal due to refraction. As it exits the glass slab, it bends away from the normal by the same amount due to refraction again. The angles at which the light ray enters and exits the slab are such that they cancel out the overall deviation, resulting in the emergent ray being parallel to the incident ray.
Which light is called the incident ray?
The incident ray is the light ray that approaches a surface or boundary, such as when it strikes a mirror or enters a new medium like air to glass. It is the light ray that is incoming before any reflection, refraction, or transmission occurs.
How does incident light emerge from a prism?
Incident light hits a prism, refracted or reflected light emerges from it. In what manner it is different from the incident light depends on the angle of incidence and the angles of the prism. Commonly it may be refracted, dispersed or reflected back.
How do the wavelengths of the transmitted waves compare to the wavelengths of the incident wave?
The wavelengths of the transmitted waves can be the same, shorter, or longer than the wavelength of the incident wave, depending on the medium through which the wave is transmitted. When a wave enters a medium with a different speed, the wavelength may change to accommodate the new speed while conserving frequency.
What does stopping down the lens' mean?
That means increasing the f-stop (which actually reduces the amount of light that passes through the lens). Since the lens is curved, the result of increasing the f-stop usually is that just about everything is in focus (huge depth of field or DOF) because the surface area of the lens being used is minimal and thus less "curved" where the light enters.
Where is the maf sensor on 92 Acura Vigor?
If you follow the tube running from your air filter box to the engine,it is located just above the point where the plastic hose/tube enters the engine.
What happens to light when it strikes clear plastics?
When light strikes clear plastics, it can either pass through the material, be reflected off its surface, or be refracted (bent) as it enters and exits the plastic. The exact interaction depends on factors like the angle of incidence and the refractive index of the plastic material.
