What is the phenomenon of bending of light called? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand that light travels in straight lines in a uniform medium.
  • Step 2: Know that when light moves from one material (like air) to another (like water), it changes speed.
  • Step 3: Realize that this change in speed causes the light to bend.
  • Step 4: Learn that this bending of light is specifically called 'refraction'.
