In science, "less dense" means that a substance has a lower mass per unit of volume compared to another substance. This is commonly observed when an object or material floats in a more dense substance, such as when ice (less dense) floats on water (more dense).

Why does a stone sink when dropped to the bottom of a pond?

Actually, it is science. The stone is more dense than the water therefore it sinks. If it was less dense, it would float. Density is science, not religion.


What is refraction when associated with physical science?

refraction is when light travels from a more dense medium to a less dense medium (or vice versa) and bends away from the normal (more to less) or towards the normal (less to more!!) hope i helped!!

Does more dense mean sink or float?

Typically, denser objects sink while less dense objects float. This is because denser objects have more mass per unit volume, causing them to displace less water than less dense objects, resulting in sinking.


Does dense water sink or rise in comparison to less dense water?

Dense water sinks in comparison to less dense water.


Is the air on a hot humid day less dense or more dense than on a hot dry day?

What does it mean to be less dense than water?

Being less dense than water means that an object will float on water. This occurs when the object's mass per unit volume is lower than that of water. Objects less dense than water will displace an amount of water equal to their weight, causing them to float.


What happens to the dirtier of a light wave when it passes from a less dense medium such as air into a more dense medium such as glass?

The answer depends on what on earth you mean by the "dirtier" of a wave.
