When light travels from one substance to another, its speed and direction may change due to a change in the medium's optical density. This change causes the light to refract, or bend, as it passes through the interface between the two substances. The amount of bending is determined by the difference in the refractive indices of the two substances.

What is the ability of a substance to reflect light?
The ability of a substance to reflect light is known as reflectance. It is determined by the material's surface properties such as smoothness, color, and angle of incident light. A substance with high reflectance will appear bright and shiny, while a substance with low reflectance will appear dull.
What does the slang term light mean?

What can happen to sound energy travelling through the air when it meets a new substance?
When sound energy meets a new substance, three things can happen: reflection (bouncing off the substance), absorption (being absorbed by the substance and converted into another form of energy), or transmission (passing through the substance). The extent to which each of these occur depends on the properties of the substance and the frequency of the sound wave.
What does it mean one substance is known to be a better conductor of heat than another?
If one substance is known to be a better conductor of heat than another, it means that it can transfer heat more easily and quickly through its structure. This is typically due to the substance's arrangement of atoms and electrons, which allows heat to flow more efficiently compared to the other substance.
What is the difference between a light ray and light beam?
A light ray is a narrow, straight path that light travels in. A light beam is a collection of light rays traveling together in the same direction. Think of light rays as individual components that make up a light beam.

What is the important of chemical changes?
A chemical change is when some thing changes into another energy or substance. It is important to make different things. A example is a piece of wood burning offers heat and light.
Different kinds of energy waves that move at the speed of light in a vacuum make up the?
