When light slows down, it is passing through a medium with a higher refractive index. This occurs because light interacts with the particles in the medium, causing it to be absorbed and re-emitted. The speed at which light travels is inversely proportional to the refractive index of the medium.
What else can I help you with?
When light slows down it bends------- the normal?
towards
What happens when a light ray travels through air into glass?
When a light ray travels from air into glass, it slows down due to the change in medium density. This change in speed causes the light ray to bend or refract, according to Snell's Law. The amount of bending depends on the angle at which the light ray enters the glass and the refractive indices of the two materials.
What does light do when it slows down?
When light slows down, it bends or changes direction, a phenomenon known as refraction. This occurs when light travels from one medium to another with a different optical density, such as air to water or glass.
What happens when the Earth's rotation slows down?
When the Earth's rotation slows down, the length of a day increases. This can affect the planet's climate, weather patterns, and ecosystems.
When a car slows down at a traffic light it is doing what?
When a car slows down at a traffic light, it is decelerating. This means that the car is reducing its speed or coming to a stop in response to the signal.
What happens when light passes air into water?
it slows down.
What happens to your breathing when resting?
It usually slows down
What happens when a meteorite experiences drag?
It slows down.
How can you change the medium that light travels through?
Anything that light will penetrate is a medium light will travel through. Any such medium will slow light down, to a certain degree. Window glass slows light down somewhat. Water slows light down a bit more. A diamond slows light down greatly (part of the reason for the "fire" in a diamond.)
When light slows down it bends------- the normal?

What happens to the speed of a river as it approaches the ocean?
it slows down
What happens when the flaps of a paper airplane are up?
slows the plane down
What happens if a black hole collides with a wormhole?
slows down time
What happens to bits of rock when you water carrying them slows down?
erosion

What happens to the kinetic energy of a skateboard that is coasting along a flat surface slows down and coming to a stop?
it change into potential energy beace it slows down
