When light rays travel from water into air, they undergo refraction. This causes the light rays to bend away from the normal (perpendicular) to the surface, causing the light to appear to change direction. This is due to the change in speed of light as it moves from a denser medium (water) to a less dense one (air).
What else can I help you with?
Light travels in sraight lines that we call?
Light travels in straight lines that we call rays.
Why does light refract when it travels through water?
Light refracts when it travels through water because the speed of light changes as it passes from one medium to another with a different optical density. This change in speed causes the light to bend, or refract, resulting in the change in direction of the light rays.
Does light travels in a zig zag?
No, light rays travel in straight lines. When light enters a medium with different optical density, such as air to water, it may appear to change direction due to refraction, but it still travels in a straight line.
What is called ray of light?
light rays
What effect does the material in which light rays travel have on the rays?
The material through which light travels can affect the speed and direction of the light rays. This is due to properties such as the density and composition of the material, which can cause refraction, reflection, absorption, or scattering of the light rays.
How does light travel under sea?
Light travels under the sea through rays of sunshine that hit the water. Light only travels a few feet under the sea.
What happens to light rays move from water to air?
what happens is that lenses bend light in a way that makes an image
Light travels in sraight lines that we call?
Light travels in straight lines that we call rays.
What do you call the lines that light travels in?
rays.
What travels from the object to your eye?
Light rays.

When light rays travel from air to water what is the effect known as?
The effect is known as refraction. Refraction is the bending of light as it travels from one medium to another, due to the change in speed of light.
What form of energy is travels through space?
Radiated energy of: light heat radio microwaves x-rays cosmic rays gamma rays and so on.
What happens to the speed of light when it travels from air into water?
the speed of light never changes but when the light beam goes from air to water, it refracts. this is when the light beam alters direction because it hits an object of greater or less density (in this case it is higher).
