When white light travels through a glass prism which colour is refracted through the largest angle?
Violet light is refracted through the largest angle when white light passes through a glass prism because it has the shortest wavelength of all the colors in the visible spectrum.
How will light be refracted if it passes from glass to water?
The light will be refracted towards the normal when it passes from glass to water, as water has a lower refractive index than glass. This means the light ray will bend towards the line that is perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence.
In which situation would the angle of refraction bend toward the normal?
The angle of refraction bends toward the normal when light travels from a less dense medium to a more dense medium, like from air to glass. This happens because the speed of light is slower in the denser medium, causing the light waves to refract towards the normal line.
What is the critical angel for total internal reflection in most glass?
The critical angle for total internal reflection in glass is approximately 42 degrees. This means that any light ray entering the glass at an angle greater than 42 degrees will be reflected back into the glass rather than refracted out of it.
Will light be refracted more when it goes from air to glass or from air to water?
Light will be refracted more when it goes from air to glass, as the refractive index of glass is higher than that of water. Snell's Law states that the angle of refraction is dependent on the refractive indices of the two mediums, with a higher refractive index resulting in a greater change in direction.
What should be the angle of incidence with respect to the normal of a glass medium so that it does not undergoes refraction?
Radiation that strikes the interface parallel to the normal, i.e. perpendicular to the boundary, is not refracted.
What happens to light that moves from glass to air when its angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle?
It does not move from glass to air but undergoes internal refraction. That is, it is refracted back into the glass at the interface.
What happens when light is refracted through glass?
The light will bend into an angle because of the shape of the glass and the location from which the light is coming from.
What happens when light hits a bent piece of glass?
Some of the light is reflected off the glass at the same angle - in a manner and angle similar to that of a ball deflected off a surface at a similar angle. This is what happens when light reflects from car windows into our faces. Much of the light, however, will penetrate the glass, so that the light source is seen from the other side. Nevertheless, on contact with the glass, the light that penetrates will be refracted (bent) and travel through the glass at a different angle from that of its original contact with the glass; but once having travelled through the glass, it will leave at its original angle of contact. The amount of refraction depends on a number of factors, but especially, on the thickness of the glass and specific angle of contact involved. So, the light bends as it passes through the glass, but leaves at its original angle.

How many times is a beam of light refracted when it passes through a triangular prism?
A beam of light is typically refracted twice when it passes through a triangular prism. The first refraction occurs as the light enters the prism and bends toward the normal due to the change in medium from air to glass. The second refraction happens when the light exits the prism, bending away from the normal as it moves from glass back into air.
What is an angle of refraction?
If a beam of light enters a substance with a higher density than air and at an angle, the light is refracted so that an object on the far side of the substance appears to be closer to the observer. If the density of the substance is lower than that of air, the light is refracted away from the observer and the object being viewed appears to be farther away.

The angle of refraction bends toward the normal when light travels from a less dense medium to a more dense medium, like from air to glass. This happens because the speed of light is slower in the denser medium, causing the light waves to refract towards the normal line.

As a ray of light passes from air into glass the angle it makes with the surface normal will?
