Refraction occurs when light passes from one medium to another. If you have your feet in a pool your legs looked bent because the light is being refracted as it moves from under the water through the air on its way to your eye.

How is refraction of light related to wave length of colors?
The longer the wavelength, the greater the angle of refraction.
How is the index of refraction of a medium related to the speed light of in the medium?
c divided by the index of refraction of the medium = the speed of light in the medium.
What do you called when the light bends as it enters a different medium the process is known as?
Refraction ~ look to related link below .
How is the index of refraction of s medium related to the speed of light inThe medium?
The index of refraction of a substance is(The speed of light in vacuum) divided by (the speed of light in the substance) .
What are the terms related to refraction of light?
terms realated to refraction of light are * interface * incident ray * refracted ray * point of incidence *normal *angle of incidence * angle of refraction *angle of deviation
Why will a lens magnify?
This is related to a change in the direction of the light - this is called refraction.
How does refraction change light?
What is Refraction?? What is Refraction??
How we can calculate the velocity of light in water?
The following assumes you already know the speed of light in a vacuum. You can do measurements related to refraction, applying Snell's law to the angles you measure. This gives you the index of refraction.Once you know the index of refraction, you divide the speed of light in the vacuum by the index of refraction, to obtain the speed of light in water.
What is the bending of light from one medium to another?
It is called refraction, but some material bounces off the light and it is called reflection.
How is the index of refraction of a substance related to the speed of light in the substance?
The substance's index of refraction isSpeed of light in vacuum / Speed of light in the substance
When does light undergo refraction?
light undergoes refraction when the matter changes the speed of light
When convexity of the lens is increased and light refraction does what?
The light refraction is decreased.
