What is a property of a material that indicates how much it reduces the speed of light?
well kids, the answer is INDEX OF REFRACTION. (: science question on my homework
The bending of light as it moves from one material to another?
It's called refraction, and the amount of bending is determined by the index of refraction.
What is materials index of refraction?
It's (the speed of light in vacuum)/(the speed of light in the material) .
What is the materials index of refraction?
It's (the speed of light in vacuum)/(the speed of light in the material) .
How do you think increasing a medium's index of refraction might affect the angle of refraction?
Q: How do you think increasing a medium's index of refraction might affect the angle of refraction?
What happens when a light moves from a material with a lower index of refraction to another material with a higher index of refraction?
The ray of light bends towards the normal.
What is the bending of light rays as it passes from one material into another?
Index Of Refraction
The speed of light in a vacuum is 1.5 times that of the speed of light in a given material what is the index of refraction for that material?
Also 1.5. That's how the index of refraction is defined.

How can the index of refraction for different substances be determined mathematically?
n(index of refraction) = c(speed of light in a vacuum)/v(speed of material in the sebstance)
Light travels faster in a material with a lower index of refraction.?
true
If the speed of light in a vacuum is 1.2 times that of the speed of light in a given material what is the index of refraction for that material?
2 (no units)
What is the measures of how much a ray of light bends when it enters the material?
Index of refraction
What is the measure of how much a ray of the light bends when it enters the material?
Index of refraction
Ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a material?
The index of refraction.
The bending of light as it moves from one material to another?
It's called refraction, and the amount of bending is determined by the index of refraction.
What is a material's index of refraction?
It is the ratio between the speed of light in a vacuum, and the speed of light in the material. The angle at which light is refracted is related to the index of refraction, and can be calculated using Snell's Law.
