What will happen to the light if it is shone perpendicular to a glass block?

The light will pass straight through the glass block if shone perpendicularly, without getting refracted or bent due to the change in medium.


What will happen when a ray of light is shone at a glass block?

When a ray of light is shone at a glass block, it will refract (bend) as it enters the glass due to the change in the speed of light in the material. The light will then travel through the glass block, possibly reflecting off the surfaces inside, and refract again as it exits the block.


What will happen when a ray of light is shone at a glass prism?

When a ray of light is shone at a glass prism, it will refract as it enters the prism, then undergo total internal reflection if the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, and finally refract again as it exits the prism. This results in the dispersion of light into its component colors due to differences in the refractive indices for different wavelengths.


What happens when ray of light is shone through a block?

When a ray of light is shone through a block, it may get refracted (bent) as it passes from one medium to another. The amount of bending depends on the difference in optical density between the block and the surrounding medium. If the block is transparent, the light may pass through without much deviation, but if the block is opaque, then the light may be absorbed or scattered within the block.


What happens when light is shone at glass prism?

When light is shone at a glass prism, the light is refracted (bent) as it enters the prism, then it undergoes dispersion where the different colors of light are separated due to their different wavelengths. Lastly, the light is refracted again as it exits the prism, producing a spectrum of colors known as a rainbow.

What happens when a ray shone at a glass block?

The white light splits into a spectrum.the original colors will appear. This is referred as REFRACTION.


What happened when a ray of light is shone at a glass block?

It all depends on the angle if incidence. In general the light will refract i.e. bend through the glass and come out at the other end. Also, the speed of light will vary through the glass.

Describe what will happen when the ray is shone at the glass block?

The light is deviated from a straight line or "bends" towards the normal on entering the glass and then away from the normal on leaving the glass. At certain angles the light undergoes dispersion - so that different wavelengths are deviated at different angles - and colours are separated - pure white light will separate into the spectrum.

What will happen the ray is shone at the prism?

when the ray is shone at the prism, refraction occurs and the light will split into it's original colour.
