Question

When a ray of light passes through the second optical medium with a change in the angle, the phenomenon is known as
(a) Reflection of light
(b) Absorption of light
(c) Refraction of light
(d) None of these

Answer 1

Answer:

refraction of light ****************

Answer 2

When a ray of light passes through the second optical medium with a change in the angle, the phenomenon is known as refraction of light

Explanation:

Refraction of light is the change in direction of the light ray when it passes from one medium to another. The angle of refraction depends on the medium.

Refraction of light is a very commonly observed phenomenon. You can view refraction by simply putting a teaspoon into a glass of water. You will notice that the spoon appears bent at the water's surface. This is caused by refraction of light that travels from the air into the water.
