Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following phenomena is responsible for the bending of light when it passes from one medium to another? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand that light travels at different speeds in different materials (mediums).
  • Step 2: When light moves from one medium (like air) to another (like water), its speed changes.
  • Step 3: This change in speed causes the light to bend, which is called refraction.
  • Step 4: Remember that refraction happens every time light passes from one medium to another.
