What happens to the speeds of a wave when it reflects?
When a wave reflects off a boundary, its speed remains the same. The direction of the wave changes but not its speed.
What happens when sound reflects and refract?
When sound reflects, it bounces off a surface in a specific angle in a process called "echo." When sound refracts, it changes speed and direction as it passes through mediums of different densities, such as air and water. Both processes can alter the intensity and quality of the sound being transmitted.
What happens to light when it changes speed, and how does this affect its behavior?
When light changes speed, it bends or refracts. This affects its behavior by causing it to change direction when it moves from one medium to another, such as from air to water. This phenomenon is known as refraction.
What is a transparent object that refracts light?
A glass prism is a transparent object that refracts light. When light enters the prism, it changes speed and bends, causing it to refract and separate into different colors.
Why and how does light refract?
Light refracts when it changes speed as it moves from one medium to another, causing it to bend. This happens because the speed of light is different in different mediums due to their varying optical densities. The change in speed results in a change in direction of light as it passes from one medium to another, causing refraction.
What happens when light passes into a material where the speed of light is faster?
-- Its speed increases. -- Its wavelength increases. -- It refracts away from the normal to the interface at the point of incidence.
Does light change speed when it refracts?
Yes.
What happens to the speeds of a wave when it reflects?
When a wave reflects off a boundary, its speed remains the same. The direction of the wave changes but not its speed.
What happens as light enters a medium and its speed increases?
It reflects a rainbow pattern
What happens to a beam of light once it hits water?
The incident ray (the incoming light) hits the water and then the speed is slowed. It is called 'Refraction'. Which is the bending of light through a translucent or transparent object.
What happens when sound reflects and refract?
When sound reflects, it bounces off a surface in a specific angle in a process called "echo." When sound refracts, it changes speed and direction as it passes through mediums of different densities, such as air and water. Both processes can alter the intensity and quality of the sound being transmitted.
How is refraction linked to light speed?
When light enters a different medium (refracts), its speed changes.

What object in a house refracts light?
A prism is an object in a house that refracts light. When light passes through a prism, it bends due to the differences in speed of light in different materials, creating a rainbow effect.
What happens when a wave moves from one medium into another of different densities?
When a wave moves from one medium into another of different densities, it changes speed and direction due to the change in propagation velocity. This phenomenon is known as refraction. The wave can either bend towards the normal (if entering a more dense medium) or away from the normal (if entering a less dense medium).
