How is a prism created?
A prism is created by cutting a transparent material, such as glass or acrylic, into a specific geometric shape, typically a triangular cross-section. When light passes through the prism, it is refracted or bent at different angles depending on the wavelength, causing the light to disperse into its constituent colors. This effect is commonly observed in glass prisms, which can create a spectrum of colors when white light is passed through them. The precise angles of the prism's faces determine the degree of dispersion and the resulting visual effect.
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.
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 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.
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 kind of light is the bending of a ray of light when it passes through something?
Refracted light
Why is a rainbow sometimes seen when light passes through raindrops or prisms?
The light is refracted
When light passes through a lens what of the light is refracted?
When light passes through a lens, both the parallel rays of light and the converging or diverging rays of light are refracted. The refraction causes the light rays to converge or diverge, which helps in focusing the image on the retina.
What happens when light passes through a prism and is refracted?
When light passes through a prism, it is refracted, which means it is bent or separated into different colors. This happens because light waves travel at different speeds through different materials, causing them to change direction.
Is light reflected or refracted when it passes through a transparent medium?
Light can be both reflected and refracted when it passes through a transparent medium. Reflection occurs when light bounces off the surface of the medium, while refraction happens when light changes direction as it moves through the medium.
Is the red light reflected or refracted through a prism?
The red light is refracted as it passes through a prism. The different colors of light are refracted at slightly different angles due to their differing wavelengths, causing them to separate and create a rainbow effect.
Light is refracted when it passes?
yes
When light passes through an object what happens to the light?
When light passes through an object, it can be absorbed, transmitted, reflected, or refracted. The specific behavior of the light depends on the properties of the object, such as its transparency, opacity, and refractive index.
The splitting of white light into colors as it passes through a triangular prism?
Dispersion
What is a triangular shaped transparent object that refracts light as it passes through it?
A prism. It can be made of glass, crystal, or other hard clear material.
