Visible light waves are the only radiation on the EM spectrum which you can see. these colors range from the lowest frequency/highest wavelength (red) to highest frequency/lowest wavelength (violet) we cannot see ultraviolet (aka UV) since it is beyond violet and the frequency is too height for humans to see. We can't see infrared since the wavelength is too high for humans to see. Recievers in our eyes called rods and cones help us pick up the images we see. These images are reflected from the sun!
just did a projct on this, hope it helped!

What is a Ray of light in the air?
A ray of light in the air is a thin beam of light traveling through the atmosphere. The ray can be produced by natural sources like the sun or artificial sources like light bulbs. It can be seen as a visible stream of photons passing through the air.
When the ray enters the prism glass to air does the refracted ray bend towards or away from the normal?
When a ray of light enters a prism from glass to air, it bends away from the normal. This is because light travels faster in air than in glass, causing the light ray to refract away from the normal as it exits the prism.
How do you explain that the pencil appears broken in the glass of water?
A ray of light changes direction when it gets out of the water, and into the air. This is called "refraction".A ray of light changes direction when it gets out of the water, and into the air.

When light passes from air to glass what happens?
When light passes from air to glass, it undergoes refraction, which is the bending of the light ray due to the change in speed as it moves from one medium to another. The speed of light is slower in glass compared to air, causing the light ray to bend towards the normal.
If a light ray is traveling from air into a glass prism how will the direction of the light ray change after it enters the prism?
The light ray will bend towards the normal (perpendicular line to the surface of the prism) as it enters the glass prism. This is due to the change in speed of light as it transitions from air to glass, causing refraction.

What is emergent ray in refraction of light?
The emergent ray is the ray of light which passes through a denser medium(glass) to a rarer medium(air).

What happened to the ray of light when it entered the water?
if the ray of light enters the water from air,refraction takes place and the ray of light will bend towards the normal due to higher optical density.
When light passes from air to glass what happens?
When light passes from air to glass, it undergoes refraction, which is the bending of the light ray due to the change in speed as it moves from one medium to another. The speed of light is slower in glass compared to air, causing the light ray to bend towards the normal.
A ray of light traveling from air to water will bend which direction?
The ray will bend towards the normal.
If a light ray is traveling from air into a glass prism how will the direction of the light ray change after it enters the prism?
The light ray will bend towards the normal (perpendicular line to the surface of the prism) as it enters the glass prism. This is due to the change in speed of light as it transitions from air to glass, causing refraction.
Why cant you see a ray of light?
People can't see a single ray of light because all answers about rays of light can not be answered. there are just theories. The most popular theory is that light travels too fast for the human eye to see.
Why do objects look distorted under water?
A ray of light will change direction when going out of water, into the air. This is called "Refraction".A ray of light will change direction when going out of water, into the air.

What is the ray diagram of light refraction in air and glass?
When light travels from air to glass, it bends towards the normal due to the higher refractive index of glass. The ray diagram shows the incident ray coming from air, bending towards the normal at the air-glass interface, and then bending away from the normal as it exits the glass. This results in the light ray being refracted towards the surface normal in glass.
When a ray of light from air enters to glass what happens to velocity?
The velocity of light decreases when it enters glass due to its higher optical density compared to air. This causes the light ray to bend towards the normal line at the boundary between air and glass.
