If you are asking about why light bends when it passes through the water and glass...
For the purpose of this answer, think of light as a beam (what light actually is, is a topic of much research and questioning). Light travels through water with a different velocity than it does through air. Thus, whenever light hits water at an angle, part of the beam is slowed down by the water before the rest of the beam, so the beam curves and what you see becomes distorted.
If it helps, think of a tractor with two treads. Now picture this tractor heading in a straight line at a constant velocity. Both of the treads are moving at the same speed, right?
Now, imagine there is a puddle of mud up ahead. The puddle of mud is positioned such that one side of the tractor will enter it before the other. What happens when the tractor reaches the mud? One tread slows down, because it entered the mud. The other, since it is still on solid ground, keeps going at the same speed. Because of this, the tractor will turn towards the tread that hit the mud, thus altering its direction.
Hope it helps.
What else can I help you with?
What is light that has passed through a polarizing filter called?
It is called 'polarized light' .
What did Newton discover about light when he passed a beam of light through a prism?
Newton discovered that white light is composed of a spectrum of colors when he passed a beam of light through a prism. This experiment led to the development of the theory of color and the understanding that light can be separated into its component colors.
Light that has passed through a polarizing filter is called?
polarized light
Light rays converge if passed through a what?
A convex lens.
What would you observe if light were passed through a prism?
If light is passed through a prism, it will be refracted into its component colors, creating a spectrum of colors known as a rainbow. This occurs because different colors of light have different wavelengths, leading to their separation as they pass through the prism.
What happens when a beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution?
When a strong beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution, then scattering of light is absorbed.
What would happen to a light ray after it has passed through a camera?
It goes to entropy. The photon will always exist but it often converts most of its energy to heat.
What is light passed through a polarized filter?
Such light is said to be polarized.
Can light travel through water?
Yes. As an example, the reason you can see fish in an aquarium or the bottom of a swimming pool is because of the light passing through, or into and out of the water.
What affects the color of light?
if the light passes through something that is coloured the light changes colour to the colour that it passed through
Will a reptile light work on the hood of an aquarium?
no, because u.v lighting can not pass through glass
