What occurs when light passes from one medium to a less optically dense medium at an angle so great that there is no refracted ray?
It is always refracted, but at an angle so that it goes back into the original medium. This phenomenon is called Total Internal Reflection. The angle that this occurs at is called the critical angle.
Is white all the colors combined?
If you are talking in terms of light then yes, all the colors in the light spectrum are together white. You may see the spectrum when white light is shining through a triangular prism, reflecting the different shades.
How does the speed of light in the fiber compare with the speede of light in the outer covering?
The speed of light in the fibre is greater. As a result, light moving toward the outer covering is refracted back towards the core.
If light passes through a medium at a speed of 2.5 x 10 to the 8 power meter per second what is its index of refraction?
my answer is 5
How is light refracted when the angle of incidence was 0?
One possibility is that the medium the light is supposed to refract from is a metamaterial, an artificially created material with a negative refractive index.
When is light not refracted?
Light is not refracted when while it passes through a vacuum, or through any uniform material.
Light is refracted by?
when it passes through a new material
What is it called when light bends as it passes through a material?
refracted light
Which light is deviated most and which light deviated least when a ray of white light passes through a prism?
Red is refracted most and violet is refracted the least when white light passes through a prism.
What happens when light is refracted through water from air?
The light will bend as it passes through.
What kind of light is the bending of a ray of light when it passes through something?
Refracted light
Why does the stick appear to be broken?
Light is refracted as it passes through the water.
Why is a rainbow sometimes seen when light passes through raindrops or prisms?
The light is refracted
Why is a spectrum of colors not obtained when light passes through a glass slab?
The light has to pass through in a way that the colors are separated and refracted, but if they pass through glass and are not refracted in a certain way they will not separate the spectrum
Light is refracted when it passes?
yes
What is caused when light bends as it passes through a material?
Light does not bend as it passes through a material. It bends when it passes from one material to another. This is called refraction. Light can also be dispersed, that is separated into its different colours, if it is refracted enough.
Wh yis light refracted when it passes from air to water?
The density of the medium through which the light is passing, changes - refracting the light.
