Will a beam of light that is, at first, in air and oriented perpendicular to the surface of a body of water be deflected as a result of the transition into water?.

Respuesta :

It does not deflect, and the light's direction will not modify

When a light ray is an incident from a medium such as air onto a better dense medium such as glass or water, the refracted ray always lies closer to the perpendicular than does the incident ray.

What happens when a light ray departs from one medium to another?

  • Refraction happens when light traverses from one medium to another, changing the speed at which the light travels. This causes light to bend upon incidence with the interface of new material.
  • The frequency of the light ray stays the same when it crosses from one medium to another because it depends on the source of light. But the wavelength and speed vary because they depend on the medium via which the light passes.
