Concept explainers

Nature of light

Light is transverse and electromagnetic radiation that exhibits the properties of a wave as well as a particle. For this reason, light is said to have a “dual nature.”

Yes or No 1. Does light travel faster in another medium aside from a vacuum? 2. Could the index of refraction in another medium such as water and glass be less than the one (1)? 3. Is it correct to say that light entering a transparent medium through the normal line will not bend? 4. Will a light beam that travels from a medium of low index of refraction to a medium with a high index of refraction through an angle from the normal line bend towards the normal line? 5. Will the speed of light increase as it travels from a medium with high optical density to a medium with low optical density? Choose in the parenthesis 6.
