How many refractions occur as a light ray travles through a lens?

Two refractions occur as a light ray travels through a lens: one as the ray enters the lens, and one as the ray exits the lens.


Why does a spoon or pencil placed in a glass of water appear to be bent to broken?

Light always travles in the the path with the shortest possible time ,from A to B say.Light travles slower in water than in air.Now, take this analogy (thanks to Richard Feynman):Imagine you are a life guard and you want to save a drowning man further along the beach. You obviously want to get there in the shortest time. Should you run to the shore, and swim to him all in a straight diagonal line? Or should you travel all the way to him on the beach and then swim perpendicularlly towards him? Remeber that you are slower in water than on the beach (just like the light).The answer is, that the shortest route is somewhere in between these two, and so you should go in a slightly bent path to go in the shortest time.Since you are like the light, in that you are slower in one medium than the other in this analogy, then the light will also bend as it enters water, hence the distortion of a spoon in a glass of lemonade.Really hope this helps.


Sound travles best in what medium?

the denser the medium, the better so a solid is the best.for example, a iron is 16* better than air.


Is a traffic light a light reflector or light source?

A traffic light is a light source as it emits light to signal drivers when to stop, slow down, or go.


Which light makes when magenta light into green light?

A red light will be needed to combine with magenta light to produce green light. Green light is the complementary color to magenta, so by mixing red light with magenta light, the result will be green light.
