RefractionThe bending of a wave as it passes from one medium to another. Refraction signifies a change in velocity (speed) of the wave. is the bending of light (it also happens with sound, water and other waves) as it passes from one transparentsubstance into another.
This bending by refraction makes it possible for us to have lenses, magnifying glasses, prisms and rainbows. Even our eyes depend upon this bending of light. Without refraction, we wouldn’t be able to focus light onto our retina.
Change of speed causes change of direction
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.
