Refraction of light
Refraction of light – definition and important facts
Although light travels in straight lines in a transparent material, such as air, if it passes into a different material, such as water, it changes direction at the boundary between the two, i.e. it is bent. The bending of light when it passes from one material (called a medium) to another is called the refraction […]
Refraction of Light: how does it depend on Optical Density of mediums?
Refraction of light is a phenomenon where light bends while moving from one medium to another, right at the surface separating these two mediums. Because of this when a pencil is dipped in a glass of water, it seems to be bent just at the surface separating the water in the glass and the air […]
