Light can travel through transparent materials such as air, glass, and water. These materials allow light to pass through with minimal absorption or scattering. Light cannot pass through opaque or highly dense materials such as metals or walls.

What is the change in direction of light when it passes from one kind of matter to another?

Light can not change direction by passing from one kind of mater to another. In fact, light can only pass through its own type of matter, which is when things like light can go through each other (and only a few types of matter can do that), but even in that case since it can go through, it can't be bent in angle by passing through.


Can light travel through matter?

Yes! Light travels through any material that does not completely absorb it. Visible light can only travel through materials that are called either transparent or translucent. Visible light travels through glass all the time. Visible light also travels through your cornea and the gel-like material that is in your eyeball. There are other types of light than visible light, such as ultraviolet (UV). UV is light that has more energy than visible light. This is the type of light that can give you a sunburn. There are even more energetic types of light like X-rays. They go through lots of material that visible light can't -- like skin and organs, but they do not go through bones or teeth very well.


Can ultraviolet light go through glass?

Yes, ultraviolet light can pass through glass, but the amount that passes through depends on the type of glass and its thickness.

How does sound react with different phases of matter?

Sound waves have to go through a medium, or matter. Usually the medium is air, but they can go through any matter. Sound waves cannot exist in outer space because there is no matter for the wave to travel through. Sound waves travel at different speeds, depending on the medium. This is similar to light, because light slows down in mediums other than air (eg. water, crystal, ect.)


Why is radiation the type of energy transfer that can take place with little or no matter?

Radiation can go right through empty space.


Why do sound light and electricity do not have matter?

For sound:Sound is waves. Matter moves as the waves go through it but the waves are not made of matter.For light:Light is an electromagnetic wave i.e. just oscillating electric & magnetic fields.For Electricity:Electricity is the movement of charge. The charge is carried by matter (or antimatter for that matter).


What light waves can go through an object?

Depends on the "object" and the frequency of the "light." All light waves can go through SOME objects, and some are stopped by an object that others can go right through. Radio waves can easily go through walls, optical light waves can go through glass, UV light can be easily stopped by many objects but can go through some others, and x-rays and gamma rays go through a wide variety of objects.


Can light go through thin skin?

yes. it doesn't matter how thick or thin your skin is. The melatonin in your skin gets activated from the UV rays of the sun.


Is sound and light made up of matter?

Sound is not made up of matter; it is a disturbance that travels through a medium, such as air or water. Light, on the other hand, is made up of electromagnetic waves, which are forms of energy rather than matter.


Does light go through glass or reflect?

Light can both go through and reflect off of glass. When light passes through glass, it is transmitting through the material. However, if the angle of incidence is steep, light can reflect off the surface of the glass.
