Why does light bend when it moves from one material to anther?

Light bends when it moves from one material to another due to a change in speed caused by the different refractive indices of the two materials. This change in speed results in a change in direction of the light ray, a phenomenon known as refraction.


What changes as light moves from one material to the other?

When light moves from one material to another, its speed and direction may change. This change in speed and direction is known as refraction. Additionally, the amount of light that is transmitted, reflected, and absorbed can also change depending on the properties of the two materials.


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.


What are two ways water moves through the atmosphere?

Water moves through the atmosphere in the form of vapor through evaporation from oceans, lakes, rivers, and plants. It also moves through the atmosphere as clouds and precipitation through processes like condensation and precipitation.


What moves light?

Light moves through a vacuum as electromagnetic waves by oscillating electric and magnetic fields. In a medium, such as air or water, light moves by interacting with the atoms or molecules present, causing them to absorb and re-emit the light.
