How can refraction make objects look?
Refraction occurs when light changes speed as it moves from one medium to another, causing it to change direction. This change in direction can make objects appear distorted or bent when viewed through the refracting medium, such as a lens or water.
How is called the study of objects to learn about past human life?
The study of objects to learn about past human life is called archaeology. Archaeologists analyze artifacts, structures, and other physical remains to understand the history and culture of ancient civilizations.
What are the values of the speed of light?
the speed of light is 186,000 miles a second it takes the light from the sun takes 7 minuates and 59 seconds to reach earth if the sun explodes it wont be known until the light reaches the earth.
How does a light bulb make heat?
The electrical energy input which is meant to turn the lights on is not 100% used (since no machine is 100% efficient.) Most of this energy is wasted as heat energy.If a substance reaches a certain temperature it gives off light and heat. When a filament light bulb reaches that temperature, it gives off both light and heat
What heats the wire of a light bulb?
When electricity passes through the wire of a light bulb, the resistance in the wire causes it to heat up through a process called Joule heating. This heating effect causes the wire to reach such high temperatures that it emits light and produces illumination in the bulb.
Does light only refract when it passes through a translucent object?
Light refracts when it passes from one medium into another one with a differentrefractive index.If transparent objects didn't refract light, then eyeglasses wouldn't work.
Does water refract light?
Yes, it does refract light.
Can opaque substances refract light?
No, opaque substances can NOT refract light. It is impossible to refract light if it is blocking it's path.
What are some objects that refract light?
Water, gasses. Any other medium that has a different "n" value gives rise to a bending of light.
Does a laser light refract or bend?
Refract
What can be used to refract white light?
a prism can be used to refract wight light
What causes light rays to refract?
light travels in straight path and when speed of medium in which light travels change then it refract due to change in speed light rays bend and refract
What are some Objects that refract?
Water, gasses. Any other medium that has a different "n" value gives rise to a bending of light.
Do mirrors reflect or refract light?
A prism refracts light, and a mirror reflects light.
Can a telescope refract light?
The human eye is a refractor, but the telescope could be either refractor or a reflector.
Does a lens refract light?
a lens will refract light. a mirror will reflect the light.
Should eyeglasses reflect or refract light into the eye?
Refract light. They only reflect when you see a glare or ghost image
