To travel far, you must have high intensity, which a normal torch light does not have to go through like, Marina Tench's depth. So! check the power of your torch light before diving at the great depth.
Since the light goes on diverging (as you know from torch light) therefore the time that it reach the bed, the luminance of the light would get very low, so that is why the light can not travel deeper into the water. But intensity also matters here too. If you have very high intensity light source then you probably don't have to use any further more converging medium but if you use low intensity light source, no matter how much you try to converge it using a medium, it won't show as clear as the high intensity light did.

What are the different wavelengths of light through water?
In water, visible light wavelengths are absorbed quickly, with red light being absorbed first and blue light penetrating the deepest. Beyond visible light, infrared light can penetrate even deeper into water. Ultraviolet light is largely absorbed by water and does not penetrate deeply.
Why would ship wrecks be preserved better in deeper water than in shallow water?
Shipwrecks are usually better preserved in deeper water because there is less exposure to environmental factors like wave action, currents, and oxygen levels that can deteriorate the wreck. Deeper water also typically has fewer organisms that can contribute to decay. Additionally, the lack of light in deeper water can slow down the growth of marine organisms that can damage the wreck.
Through what can light waves travel?
Light waves can travel through a vacuum, air, water, and transparent materials like glass and plastic.
Why do objecs under water seem deeper or closer to the surface than they really are?
This phenomenon is due to light refraction. Light waves bend as they move from one medium to another of different density, such as from air to water. As a result, objects underwater may appear closer to the surface or deeper than they actually are when viewed from above water.
What are three mediums light can travel through?
Light can travel through air, water, and glass. Each of these mediums allows light to pass through due to their transparent properties.
Can light travel through a water?
An example is that sunlight penetrates sea water for a certain depth. The deeper the sea water the less is the light. This is why at the very deep depths, it is pitch black, as no light can reach this level. Also, if light couldn't pass through water, we would not be able to see the bottom of a swimming pool.
Why does the water get darker when it gets deeper?
The water appears darker when it gets deeper due to increased absorption and scattering of light. As light penetrates deeper into the water, it encounters more particles and substances that absorb and scatter light, resulting in less light being reflected back to the surface. This absorption and scattering processes make the water appear darker as depth increases.
Is it possible to travel at the speed of light in water?
No, it is not possible to travel at the speed of light in water. Light travels at a slower speed in water compared to its speed in a vacuum, which is about 299,792 kilometers per second. The speed of light in water is approximately 225,000 kilometers per second.
Why doesn't light travel as straight or far in water as in air?
There are more things for the light waves to bounce off of in water, so light can not travel in a straight line or as far.
How fast can light travel in water?
The speed of light in water is about 225,400 kilometres per second.
What do light waves travel more through when they enter water?
they travel faster. Light waves travel more QUICKLY as they enter water. ^^ whoever done this;; thanks! i really needed the answer....
Light waves travel more as they enter water?
yes they travel faster :)
Can light waves travel better in water or air?
Since air has a lower optical density than water, light waves can travel faster in air.
Does light travel slower threw water?
Yes, light travels slower in water than in air.
What are the challenges in the oceans?
the darkness and the weather condition
Why does a red fish look black in the ocean greater than water depth of 10 meters?
Has to do with reflected light, its wavelength, and how water effects it. Red light cannot travel as deep in water as green or blue. Therefor, when a red fish goes deeper the needed RED LIGHT cannot reach it and will not be reflected off the fish. SO! It looks black because it is REFLECTING no color. Thats what color is... reflected light.
What are the different wavelengths of light through water?
