What happens when a light ray travels at right angles into a transparent object?

When light travels at right angles into a transparent object (i.e. angle of incidence is zero), no refraction occurs.


What is a characteristic of glass?

Some glass is transparent to visible light.


What is the material through which light travels like air or water?

"air", "water" "glass" - generically a medium.


What happens to the speed of light when it travels from air into glass?

The speed of light decreases when it travels from air into glass because the glass has a higher refractive index than air. This causes the light to slow down as it moves through the denser medium.


Does light travel faster in glass than in a vacuum?

No, slower. Light travels fastest in a vacuum. Anything transparent that light can pass through slows it down somewhat. Diamond crystal slows it down notably, which is part of what causes the "fire" in a diamond.


What happens when light strikes a transparent body like glass?

When light strikes a transparent body like glass, it can either be transmitted (pass through the glass), reflected (bounce off the surface of the glass), or refracted (bent as it passes through the glass). The amount of light that is transmitted, reflected, and refracted depends on the angle of incidence and the properties of the glass.


What is the material through which light travels?

Light travels through a variety of materials, including air, water, glass, and other transparent substances. The speed of light can vary depending on the material it is passing through, with factors such as density and refractive index affecting how light behaves.


What are the three classification of materials according to how light travels through them?

Materials are classified into three catagories firstly opaque through which light can not pass,secondly transparent through which light can pass and lastly translucent through light light passes partially.


What happens to light when it travels through transparent object?

When light travels through a transparent object, it is transmitted through the material without being absorbed or scattered. The speed of light may change as it passes through the object, causing the light to refract or bend.


Why are glass material transparent?

light passes through glass


What happens to the direction of a light ray as it travels from glass into the air?

the light 'beam' (if you like) will slightly change direction this is bending light, light only travels in straight lines but due to the shape of the glass it changes direction when the beam exits the glass its should go back to its shape of ligh beam .
