Answer:

➡️Light refracts whenever it travels at an angle into a substance with a different refractive index (optical density).

➡️ This change of direction is caused by a change in speed.

➡️For example, when light travels from air into water, it slows down, causing it to continue to travel at a different angle or direction.

✴️OR✴️

,➡️Refraction means that the light waves are bent, or change direction when they enter a new medium.

➡️This happens because as the wave enters the new medium it changes speed.

➡️This difference of speed causes the wave front to bend which we detect as refraction
