What is optical medium?
Optical dense refers to the index of refraction. If one medium is optically denser than another, then its index of refraction is larger, meaning the speed of light in the optically denser medium is smaller.
When does total internal refraction happen?
Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from a denser medium to a less dense medium at an angle exceeding the critical angle. This phenomenon causes the light to reflect back into the denser medium instead of refracting out of it. Total internal reflection is commonly observed in optical fibers and mirages.
When light travels from a less optically dense medium to an optically denser one it bends.which statemant describe the bending?
This bending of light is called refraction. It occurs because the speed of light changes as it moves from one medium to another, causing it to bend towards the normal line in the denser medium. The angle of refraction depends on the angle of incidence and the optical properties of the two media.
Is optical medium and optical density same?
No, optical medium and optical density are not the same. Optical medium refers to the material through which light propagates, such as air, water, or glass. Optical density, on the other hand, is a measure of how much a material can refract or absorb light, which affects how light passes through it.
What happens when a wave moves through a denser medium?
When a wave moves through a denser medium, its speed decreases while its frequency remains constant. The wave will also experience refraction, causing it to change direction as it enters the denser medium. Additionally, the wavelength of the wave will shorten as it moves into the denser medium.

Is the angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction when light passes from a less dense to denser medium?
If you meant optical density by the term 'denser ' Then the answer is.... The light bends towards normal when it travels from a optically less dense medium to optically dense medium. So angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Is it necessary to have a denser medium for the reflection of light?
no. if the medium is denser, the reflection of light would not do it.
What storage medium is stored as Light reflecting from pits and lands?
Optical Storage Medium

What is an optical storage medium such as a CD or DVD?
An Optical Disk
What happens when light enters a new medium in terms of speed?
When light enters a new medium, its speed can change. The speed of light changes depending on the optical density of the medium it is traveling through. In general, light travels more slowly in denser media such as glass or water compared to its speed in a vacuum.
What happends to the wavelength of the waves as they pass into the denser medium?
The wavelength of the waves decreases as they pass into a denser medium. This is because the speed of the waves decreases in a denser medium, but the frequency remains constant. This results in a shorter wavelength.
What is mean by denser medium?
-- If you're talking about physical density, then a more-dense substance hasmore mass than a less-dense one has in the same volume.-- If you're talking about optical density, then a more-dense medium has ahigher refractive index (the speed of light is lower in it) than a less-dense one.Higher optical density does not necessarily also mean higher optical density,although I don't have a specific example to give you.
