Hey friend here is your answer....
Answer :
Example :
1. Put a straw into glass . Then , put some water into the glass . The appearance of the straw will change . The part dipped into water will seem bent .
2. Put the coin into a bowl , and slowly pour water into the bowl . The coin will appear to rise or come closer .
These things happen because light bends, or the direction of light changes, when it moves from one medium into another . Anything through which light can travel is called a medium . Glass , air, water and vacuum or all mediums through which light can travel . The bending of light as it passes from one medium to another is called the refraction of light . This is in contrast to reflection , in which light bounces back into the same medium .
Light Benz when it passes from one medium to another because it moves with different speeds in different mediums . It most the fastest through vacuum, with a speed of 299,792,458 m/s (about 300,000 km /s ) .
It moves a bit slower through vacuum , much slower through water, and slower still through glass . When light travels from one medium to another, it is this change in its speed that makes it change its direction. This is similar to the way of strolley or pram turns .
When light falls on a transparent material like clear glass it passes through it . However , when it falls on opaque objects like table , chair , etc . Some of it bounces back .
This bouncing back of light from a surface is called reflection .
