In denser medium,particles of matter are very close to each other.whereas,in rarer medium,particles of the medium are slightly farther apart.

What happens when a ray of light passes from rarer medium to rarer medium?

When a ray of light passes from a rarer medium to a rarer medium, it will continue in a straight line and its speed will remain constant. There will be no change in the direction of the light ray.


What is a rarer medium?

A rarer medium refers to a cooking term used to describe meat that is cooked less than medium-rare, meaning it is cooked for a shorter time period and is usually pink and juicy in the center. This term is often used in culinary contexts to describe the doneness of meat.


How is the direction of aray of light changed when it travels from an optically denser to an optically rarer medium?

When light travels from an optically denser medium to an optically rarer medium, it bends away from the normal (angle of incidence is greater than angle of refraction) due to the decrease in the speed of light in the rarer medium. This phenomenon is known as refraction.


Is it possible to achieve total internal reflection if the object is in rarer medium?

First we should know what will be happen when the light ray goes from denser medium to rarer medium and rarer medium to denser mdeium.... 1. The light refracted away from the normal (Denser to Rarer) 2. The light refracted towards the normal (Rarer to denser) So it is not possibel to get total internal reflection whan the light travel from rarer to denser medium...... Conditions to achieve to get TIR 1. The light should travel from denser mediumt to rarer medium 2. The angle of incidence at the interface should be greater than critical angle if you are not satisfied kindly mail me cramkum@gmail.com


When light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium it bends away from the normal Is it possible for the light ray to reflect back in the same medium?

Yes, when light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium and strikes the interface at an angle greater than the critical angle, total internal reflection can occur. In this case, the light ray reflects back into the denser medium instead of refracting into the rarer medium.


What happenend light from rarer to denser medium?

It slowed down.


Why does velocity of light in rarer medium than in denser medium?

Light travels faster in rarer mediums than in denser mediums because the density of the medium affects the speed at which light waves can propagate. In rarer mediums, there are fewer particles for light to interact with, allowing it to travel faster. This difference in speed is due to the change in the refractive index of the medium.


Is there any phase change occurred when sound wave refracted from denser medium to a rarer medium?

No, there is no phase change that occurs when a sound wave refracts from a denser medium to a rarer medium. The wavelength and frequency of the wave may change due to the change in speed, but the phase remains the same.


What type of matter do sound travel faster through?

rarer medium- air


Why frequency of light is not change When it enter from a rarer medium to denser medium?

Frequency is a function of the energy level of the photon. Changing the medium does not change that energy level.


Why does tha refracted light bends towards the base of prism?

When light enters a denser medium from a rarer medium, it slows down, causing it to bend towards the normal. As the light exits the denser medium into the rarer medium, it speeds up and bends away from the normal. This change in speed and direction is why refraction occurs in a prism.


Why phase change of 180 takes place when wave enter from rarer medium to denser medium?

The displacement is a peculiar state, due to the fact that this is one of the special situations in which energy is completely destroyed and conservation of energy does not take place; hence the phase change
