Converging light rays are light rays that are moving towards each other and eventually meet at a single point.

What do we call light bending instead of coming back towards you?

Light bending away from its original path instead of returning towards the observer is known as refraction. Refraction occurs when light travels through different mediums with varying optical densities, causing its path to change direction.


What would happen to the redshift light if it moved in the opposite direction?

With the observer stationary, as an object emitting light moves away, each wave is emitted from a point farther away than the preceding wave and thus takes longer to reach the observer. Because of this Doppler effect (Proposed by Austrian Christian Doppler in 1849) the perceived wavelength is lengthened and therefore (in the visible spectrum) it appears at a lower frequency and is called a red shift (the lowest visible frequency being red). If the object moves in the opposite direction (towards the observer), each wave is emitted from a point closer to the observer than the preceding wave so the wavelength seems shorter and the frequency appears higher and moves towards that end of the spectrum. Although the highest visible frequency is violet, someone somewhere decided to call this Doppler effect the blue shift.


What is it called when you communicate with light?

I don't think there's a standard word. When I talk to light, I call it photocommunication. Other people call it schizophrenia.

What do you call the movement of shoot towards light?

Phototropism is a plant's growth response to a light source, determining which direction it grows in. Positive Phototropism is the tendency for a plant to grow towards the light; Negative Phototropism is when it grows away from the light.


What do we call the materials that refracts light?

Refraction is caused when light changes the medium that it is moving through. Therefore any material that is transparent to light will diffract it.


What is a star call when it is moving away from the earth?

A star moving away from the earth is still called a star, but the color of the light that we see will be "redder" than it actually is. This is called redshift, and a link can be found below for more information.

Stars moving away from the earth show a red shift Why?

The star is moving away from us. Therefore, the Doppler effect must be considered. The Doppler effect is waves (in this case light) will be compressed in front of a moving object and stretched behind the object. This stretching creates a long wavelength. Red light has a long wavelength (the longest of visible light), so we call this stretching red shift.

Can light go faster then the speed of light?

Since light is made of light, whatever speed it goes at is what we call the speed of light. So we'll always see light moving at exactly the speed of light, at least in that particular medium.

What do we call it when we change the direction light is moving?

Reflection: When light is bounced back off a surface in different or same direction Deflection: When light goes through a surface but its direction has changed from before it hit the surface
