What refers to the bending of light waves when they pass through another substance?
Refraction is the bending of waves as they enter a different medium.
The bending of a light ray as it passes from one substance to another one with a different density?
Refraction
Is light bending going through a prism an example of a reflection?
Light bending as it passes through a prism is an example of refraction, not reflection.
What does refraction means in terms of rainbows?
Refraction of bending lightrefraction means the bending of light, and the refraction of light in a prism causes to 'split' light in all its colors (that we can see and not see)Refraction is the bending of light. The bending of light is defined mathematically by Snell's law. The degree of bending through rain drops produces the various colors of the rainbow.
The bending of light from one material to another is?
reflection or refraction

The bending of a light ray as it passes from one substance to another one with a different density?
Refraction
What do you call the bending of light as it enters or leaves a transparent substance?
refraction of light
Is light bending going through a prism an example of a reflection?
Light bending as it passes through a prism is an example of refraction, not reflection.
What is refletion and rerfrction in light?
reflection of light is when light bounces off an object, particularly a mirror (or something like that). refraction is the bending of light rays, when light rays flow through a substance (particularly curved). Ex: a straw looks at an angle when put into water, when it's really just the light rays bending.
What is another word for bending light?
Refraction
To throw back light rays that strike a surface?
This is the definition of the reflection of a light ray. The other term related to light rays is refraction, which is the bending of a light ray as it passes from one substance into another.
What is light refraction for kids?
the bending of light when passing through an object
Does the light that's passes through binoculars get refracted?
yes because refrat meansthe bending of light and itpasses from one material to another
What kind of light is the bending of a ray of light when it passes through something?
Refracted light
The bending of light when it goes from air into gelatin is called?
Refraction ( the bending of light as it passes from a one transparent material to another with a different density)
