What else can I help you with?
When a car slows down at a traffic light it is?
converting kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction in the brakes, resulting in a decrease in speed.
When light slows down it bends------- the normal?
towards
What does light do when it slows down?
When light slows down, it bends or changes direction, a phenomenon known as refraction. This occurs when light travels from one medium to another with a different optical density, such as air to water or glass.
What non opaque substance slows down light the most?
In a vacuum, light travels at its maximum speed. When passing through a non-opaque substance, such as glass or water, the speed of light slows down due to interactions with the atoms in the material. Among common substances, light generally slows down the most in materials with a high refractive index, such as diamond.
What happens when light slows down?
When light slows down, it is passing through a medium with a higher refractive index. This occurs because light interacts with the particles in the medium, causing it to be absorbed and re-emitted. The speed at which light travels is inversely proportional to the refractive index of the medium.
How can you change the medium that light travels through?
Anything that light will penetrate is a medium light will travel through. Any such medium will slow light down, to a certain degree. Window glass slows light down somewhat. Water slows light down a bit more. A diamond slows light down greatly (part of the reason for the "fire" in a diamond.)

What happens when light passes air into water?
it slows down.

What happnes if the traffic light system brakes down?
If a traffic light breaks most cities will assign a traffic cop to regulate traffic until the light can be fixed.

Among common substances, light generally slows down the most in materials with a high refractive index, such as diamond.
Why does light bend when it is refracted?
Light bends when it is refracted because it goes through different mediums or substances and slows down. Because it slows down, the light doesn't go all the way through the medium so is in a different position.
Where are light dependent resistors used for?
Its slows down energy when it passes thought the light depntent resistor.
Does light speed up as it travels through water?
No, light does not speed up in water, it slows down.
What happens when light slows down?
When light slows down, it is passing through a medium with a higher refractive index. This occurs because light interacts with the particles in the medium, causing it to be absorbed and re-emitted. The speed at which light travels is inversely proportional to the refractive index of the medium.
What slows down the speed of light?
Light will slow down if it goes through just about anything that is not a vacuum, for example air, glass, water.
