effects of refraction in nature​

Answer 1

Effects of Refraction in Nature

• A line or a spot of ink on a paper always appears to be raised when viewed through the glass slab due to the refraction of light.

• Twinkling of stars is due to the refraction of light.

• Optical illusions such as mirage and looming are also produced due to refraction of light.

• In physics, refraction is the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another or from a gradual change in the medium.

• Refraction of light is the most commonly observed phenomenon, but other waves such as sound waves and water waves also experience refraction.

Answer 2

Due to refraction of light, various effect are observed in our daily life. We have many advantages by the refraction of light.

Thus, the magnitude of refraction increases with decreasing height. Due to this, the lower portions of the sun at the time of sun set and sun rise are raised more than the upper portions.
