What happens when light passes through a prism and is refracted?

When light passes through a prism, it is refracted, which means it is bent or separated into different colors. This happens because light waves travel at different speeds through different materials, causing them to change direction.


What happens when white light passes through a yellow filter?

When white light passes through a yellow filter, only the yellow wavelengths of light are transmitted while all other wavelengths are absorbed. This causes the light that passes through to appear yellow in color.


When light passes through an object what happens to the light?

When light passes through an object, it can be absorbed, transmitted, reflected, or refracted. The specific behavior of the light depends on the properties of the object, such as its transparency, opacity, and refractive index.


What happens to the lights when it passes through water?

When light passes through water, it slows down due to the change in medium. This causes the light to refract or bend. The amount of refraction depends on the angle at which the light enters the water.


What happens when light passes through a plasma?

When light passes through a plasma, it can interact with the free electrons and ions within the plasma, causing scattering, absorption, and emission of light at different wavelengths. This interaction can result in phenomena such as refraction, diffraction, and interference, altering the properties of the light as it passes through the plasma.
