Why does refracting light bend when it enters a denser or less dense medium?

Physics
1 answer:
Rzqust [24]3 years ago

Answer: The light bends because light travels fast but it slows down in a denser medium. For example light refracts in water or it bends after passing through air. When light passes through air ( a less dense medium ) then through water ( a more dense medium ) the beam of light bends because light travels more slowly in a denser medium then it picks up its pace again once it passes. The density of the substance determines how much the light is refracted. I hope this makes sense and I hope this answered your question!! :)

In cloud formation, water vapor turns into water droplets which get bigger and bigger until it rains.
Andreas93 [3]

Basically there will be an increase in the air temperature in the clouds. Internally the water vapor is condensed in a cloud to fall like rain and release all the heat that it has inside. This heat is physically known as 'latent heat'. With this release of energy released as water vapor becomes drops of water, a microphysical process will be generated in the clouds that are responsible for controlling the conversion of water vapor into cloud particles and their respective rainfall.

The correct answer is A: Get Warmer.
