Well light can only bend. It was first discovered by Albert Estein,when he found out that light does bend. But am not sure about if light refract.

When light rays are bent they are called?

When light rays are bent, they are called refracted. Refraction occurs when light passes through different mediums of different optical densities, causing the light rays to change direction.


Can light be bent or refracted when hit a new material at an angle?

yes it is true


Can light be bent or refracted when it hits a new material at a new angle?

Yes, to all of that.


What color is least bent by a prism?

Red light is refracted the least by a prism as it has the longest wavelength.


Can light be bent or refracted when it hits a new material at a angle?

Light can only be bent by gravity, therefore, refraction occurs when light hits an atom's electron and is scattered in a different direction.


Is rainbow source of light?

No, a rainbow does not produce light, it is an effect of light being bent (refracted). The source of the light seen in a rainbow is the Sun.

When light moves from air to oil is the refracted ray bent toward or away from the normal?

When light moves from air to oil, the refracted ray is bent towards the normal. This is because light travels at different speeds in different mediums, causing it to change direction at the boundary between the two mediums.


When the refracted light is bent back into the incident material is called a?

When the refracted light is bent back into the incident material, it is called total internal reflection. This occurs when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, causing all the light to be reflected back into the original medium rather than refracted. Total internal reflection is the principle behind optical fibers and mirages.


Could light be bent or refracted when it hits a new material at an angle?

Yes, light can be bent or refracted when it enters a new material at an angle due to the change in speed as it moves from one medium to another. This phenomenon is described by Snell's Law, which governs how light rays change direction when passing through different materials.


How does refraction make color?

White light is made up of different colors. When white light enters water (like moisture in the air) it is bent (refracted). However the different colors are bent (refracted) by different amounts. So this different amount of bending has the effect of separating the white light into its colors and we see this as a rainbow.lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
