The light is refracted each time it crosses the boundary between two media.

If it enters a transparent object and then leaves the same object . . . like

a lens, a glass window pane, or a block of jello . . . that's two refractions.

How Many Mirrors Are In A Periscope?

A periscope typically consists of two mirrors. The first mirror at the top of the periscope reflects light rays coming from above into the tube, while the second mirror at the bottom reflects the rays out to the observer's eyes, allowing them to see objects that are not in direct line of sight.


How many times can you reflect light with mirrors and a flashlight?

That would depend on the quality of the mirror. If the mirror reflects a greater percentage of the light, then the light can be reflected more times, before it becomes too faint to be recognizable.That would depend on the quality of the mirror.

How many mirrors are there in a periscope?

A periscope typically contains two mirrors - one at each end of a hollow tube. The first mirror at the top of the periscope reflects the image into the tube, and the second mirror at the bottom of the periscope reflects the image out to the viewer's eye.


When light is reflected off of a smooth surface in how many ways is it reflected?

It is reflected in only one way: in a straight line and the direction such that the angle between the incident ray and the normal at the point of incidence is the same as the angle between the normal and the reflected ray, but on the opposite side of the normal.


When light hits a rough surface and is reflected it is called reflection.?

Yes, when light hits a rough surface and is reflected in many different directions, it is called diffuse reflection. This type of reflection occurs when the surface is not smooth and causes the light to scatter.

How many times do you have to hit ganondorf in Zelda windwaker?

I don't think it's a fixed amount of times. You have to parry him when he is paralysed by a light arrow that has been reflected off you shield.

Is there light coming from any planets?

no light is not emitted by any planet but light ,reflected by many planets comes to the earth

How many mirrors are in submarine?

If you mean in the periscope, two.


Why is the light of moon not as hot as the sun light?

The moon does not radiate any heat or light of its own, it merely reflects the sun's heat and light. But since the moon is many times smaller than the sun, it only receives a small fraction of the heat and light -- and much less when it is in the shadow of the earth. However, most of the heat and light striking the moon is absorbed by the moon itself, or is reflected into space, thus there's very little reflected back to earth.

How many times is the image reflected in a 6 sided snowflake?

The number of times that an image is reflected in a six sided snowflake is infinity. It is easy to construct a six sided snowflake in a PC.
