Question

The phenomenon of bending of light as it passes from one transparent medium to another is A. refraction of light B. reflection of light C. internal reflection of light D. lateral inversion of light

​

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Refraction of light

Refraction is an effect that occurs when a light wave, incident at an angle away from the normal, passes a boundary from one medium into another in which there is a change in velocity of the light. Light is refracted when it crosses the interface from air into glass in which it moves more slowly.

Answer 2

Answer:

The phenomenon of bending of light as it passes from one transparent medium to another is A. refraction of light

Explanation:

• When a light beam enters an object with a differing refractive index at an angle, it refracts.
• When a light beam enters an object with a differing refractive index at an angle, it refracts.This increase in speed causes a shift in direction.
• Take air entering water as an illustration. As light continues to move at a different angle, its speed drops.
• Light is refracted because it moves through different materials at varying rates.
• When light travels from one medium to another, its speed alters, causing it to bend.
• When light enters a medium from another, its speed changes, which results in refraction.
