∙ 12y agoWhen light passes perpendicularly from a rarer medium to a denser medium, there is no change in the speed of light. Since refraction occurs due to the change in speed, the absence of speed change in this case results in no bending of the light ray.
When a ray of light passes from an optically denser medium to a rarer medium, it bends away from the normal. This phenomenon is known as refraction. The speed of light changes as it moves from one medium to another, causing the change in direction.
When light passes through a denser medium, its speed decreases, causing it to bend (refract) towards the normal line of the medium. This change in direction is due to the change in the speed of light as it moves from one medium to another.
When light passes from air to water, it changes speed and direction due to the difference in refractive index. This change in speed and direction causes the stick to appear bent at the point where it enters the water. However, the stick is not actually bent; it is an optical illusion created by the refraction of light.
When light travels from a less dense medium to a denser medium, it bends towards the normal. This is because light slows down in a denser medium, causing it to change direction. When light travels from a denser medium to a less dense medium, it bends away from the normal as it speeds up in the less dense medium.
Refraction occurs when light changes direction as it passes from one medium to another, such as from air to water. This bending of light is due to the change in speed of light as it enters a denser or less dense medium, causing the light rays to change direction.

The emergent ray is the ray of light which passes through a denser medium(glass) to a rarer medium(air).

no. if the medium is denser, the reflection of light would not do it.
When light travels from a less dense medium to a denser medium, it bends towards the normal. This is because light slows down in a denser medium, causing it to change direction. When light travels from a denser medium to a less dense medium, it bends away from the normal as it speeds up in the less dense medium.
Refraction occurs when light changes direction as it passes from one medium to another, such as from air to water. This bending of light is due to the change in speed of light as it enters a denser or less dense medium, causing the light rays to change direction.
An optical denser medium refers to a material with a higher refractive index compared to the surrounding medium. This causes light to change direction when it passes from one medium to another, resulting in effects like refraction and total internal reflection. Examples of optical denser mediums include glass and water.
When light enters a denser medium, its speed decreases, causing it to bend or refract toward the normal of the boundary between the two mediums. The frequency of the light remains constant as it passes through the boundary, but its wavelength changes.
If you meant optical density by the term 'denser ' Then the answer is.... The light bends towards normal when it travels from a optically less dense medium to optically dense medium. So angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
As light passes from air into a glass prism, its velocity decreases due to the change in medium. The frequency of light remains the same as it is determined by the source of the light. The wavelength of light decreases as it enters the denser medium of the glass, causing the light to bend or refract.
When light moves from one medium to another, it bends due to the change in its speed caused by the change in medium. One exception to this rule is when light passes perpendicularly from one medium to another, in which case it does not change direction but only its speed.
