If sunlight were not bent, its rays would travel in a straight line and appear as a beam of light without any deviation from its path. This would create sharper shadows and more direct illumination.

What is a ray of sunlight?

A ray of sunlight is defined as 'a narrow beam of light' and is used to describe a small line or individualÊstream of sunlight.ÊA ray of sunlight is usually seen as multiple rays of sunlight not just one.Ê


What happens when a ray of light is shown at a prism?

When a ray of light is shown at a prism, the light ray is refracted (bent) as it enters the prism, and then it is dispersed into different colors due to the different wavelengths of light being bent at different angles. This phenomenon is known as dispersion, and it causes the formation of a spectrum of colors called a rainbow.


When light moves from air to oil is the refracted ray bent toward or away from the normal?

When light moves from air to oil, the refracted ray is bent towards the normal. This is because light travels at different speeds in different mediums, causing it to change direction at the boundary between the two mediums.


What do you call the ray that leaves the mirror?

A mirror and most surfaces reflect lots of things like light and heat. If you shine sunlight on a mirror it will reflect sunlight. Sunlight is the radiation which the sun gives off, within sunlight there are many different wave lengths with include infa-red and ultra-violet. In short a mirror with reflect certain wave-lengths, to understand better it is best you research on waves.


What happens to the path of the cathode ray when the orientation of the magnet is reversed?

When the orientation of the magnet is reversed, the path of the cathode ray will also be reversed. This is because the cathode ray consists of negatively charged particles that are deflected by the magnetic field, so changing the orientation of the magnet will change the direction of the deflection.

What observations did Thomson make to suggest that an electron has negative electric charge?

Thomson observed that a cathode ray bent when in the presence of a magnetic field. After the cathode ray bent the opposite way when the opposite pole of the magnet was placed next to it, Thomson concluded that the cathode ray had a negative charge.

Why does a straw appear to be bent in a glass of water?

This is due to the principle of refraction. Refraction occurs at the boundary of the two media air and water. When a light ray hits this boundary at an angle, it changes direction and seems to bend. So. the straw appear bent when we look at it through the water glass because light is being bent as it passes through the different media of air, water, and the glass.


What should I look for in an x ray tech school?

You should look for schools that has x-ray tech related classes. It would do you wonders. It will also help later on when you have to take a test to be certified.
