How will light be refracted if it passes from glass to water?
The light will be refracted towards the normal when it passes from glass to water, as water has a lower refractive index than glass. This means the light ray will bend towards the line that is perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence.
When a light ray passes from water (n1.333) into diamond (n2.419) at an angle of 45 it is?
refracted and bent towards the normal due to the increase in optical density. The angle of refraction would be less than 45° due to the higher index of refraction in diamond compared to water.
What happens to light rays when they're refracted?
When light rays are refracted, they change direction as they pass from one medium to another with a different optical density. This causes the light rays to bend either towards or away from the normal line, depending on the angle at which they enter the new medium. Refraction is what causes phenomena like the bending of light in a prism or the apparent change in the position of objects in water.
How does the direction of a ray of light change as it passes from air into water?
When a ray of light travels it is in a wave and when it enters from air to water it becomes more dense and harder to move so the waves are refracted.
What happens when light is refracted through water from air?
When light passes from air into water, it undergoes refraction, causing it to change direction. This is due to the change in speed of light as it moves from a less dense medium (air) to a denser medium (water). The light ray bends towards the normal (an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface) when entering the water.

Why if you equals 0 refractiondoes not takes place?
Because from air to water the item will go towards the normal and in water to air the item will gi away from the normal. So if it is already directly along the normal then it wont be refracted.

Does light bend toward or away from the normal when it goes air into water?
Light bends towards the normal when it goes from air into water due to the increase in optical density of the medium, leading to a decrease in speed of light and hence bending towards the normal.
Does a rainbow occur because sunlight is selectively absorbed by water in the raindrops or because it is refracted by water in the raindrops?
Rainbows are the result of sunlight being refracted by drops of water in the air.
How is optical density related to refraction?
As you should know, as light travels from one medium into another more optically dense medium (such as from air into water) the light is refracted towards the normal. But why does the light appear to bend and refract? Light acts not only as a particle, but also as a wave. When the light hits the more optically dense medium it slows down. This also happens with water waves. As the waves come towards the shore the ocean becomes more shallow and they speed up, when the water waves speed up they bend away from the normal. The same thing is happening with the light waves. As light waves are hitting the more optically dense material, because they slow down they oppose and opposite effect to the water waves and bend towards the normal. I hope this helped. :)
When light passes from water into air the light bends away from the normal true or false?
False. When light passes from water into air, it bends towards the normal.
What is the light ray when it enter or exits a water air at an angle of 15 degrees with the normal?
When light enters or exits water into air at an angle of 15 degrees with the normal, the light ray will refract, or bend, away from the normal. This is because water is optically denser than air, causing the light to bend towards the less dense medium.
How does light bend when it passes into a denser material?
The Ray of light bends toward the normal line. The reason is the light in the more dense region has slower speed. The relationship is given by the Law of Signs:sin(incident angel)/incident speed = sin(refracted angle)/dense speedSin(I)/vi = Sin(dense)/vd
