bend towards the normal or it's speed will decrease

What is the fastest speed of any object in the universe?
The speed of light. 300,000 km/h, is the fastest speed of any object in the universe.
How is the speed of light affected as it passes at an angle from air to water?
the speed never changes
What will happen when ray of light passes through a glass slab?
speed of light will decreases
The upper limit to the speed of an object with mass?
An object with mass might approach, but never reach, the speed of light.An object with mass might approach, but never reach, the speed of light.An object with mass might approach, but never reach, the speed of light.An object with mass might approach, but never reach, the speed of light.
Why does light rays bend?
The refraction of light when it passes from a slow medium (high density) to a fast medium (low density) causes the light to change speed and thus it bends away from the normal to the boundary between the two media. The amount of bending also depends on the indices of refraction of the two media and is described quantitatively by Snell's Law.
When is light bent as it passes through an object?
When the speed of light in the two media is not the same.
What has mass volume and density but not length?
An object moving at the speed of light.
What happens if you are driving a car at the speed of light and you cut your headlights on?
They'll leave your car at the speed of light, and when that light passes anybody, they'll measure the speed of the light as it passes them to be the speed of light.
Speed of light will be minimum when it passes through?
the speed of light, commonly denoted as "c", is constant no matter which medium it passes through.
How does sound intensity decrease due to density of a substance it passes through?
The speed of sound and density are related as . So the greater the density the speed of sound decreases.
Are Volume and density are the kinetic energy of and object?
No, kinetic energy of an object depends upon mass and velocity. The amount of kinetic energy of an object in translational motion = 1/2mv2, provided the speed is low relative to the speed of light
How do different materials affect light and sound waves?
Light slows as it enters material with a higher density whereas sound waves speed up in materials of higher density. Light bends towards the "normal" as it passes from a less dense medium to a higher density medium ie air into glass. Both sound and light can be reflected from surfaces.
What happens when light passes into a material where the speed of light is lower?
It moves at a slower speed!
What happens to the speed of the light when it passes from air into glass?
The speed decreases.
What is the fastest speed of any object in the universe?
The speed of light. 300,000 km/h, is the fastest speed of any object in the universe.
The density of an object depends on what?
mass and velocitythe object's speed and mass
What happens to speed of light when light goes into air?
That depends what it comes out of. If it passes into air from vacuum, thenits speed decreases. If it passes into air from water or jello, then its speedincreases.
