Reflection: light bounces off of a surface, like a mirror.
Refraction: light goes through a substance and bends. For example, white light through a prism comes out in a rainbow because the light is refracted or bent and each color has a different index of refraction.

What does light bend when it passes from air into glass?
refraction
What is it called when a wave goes from one medium to another and it changes speed and direction?
It is called refraction. Refraction occurs when a wave changes speed and direction as it travels from one medium to another, due to the change in its wave velocity and the change in the medium's optical density.
Which is better reflection or refraction?
Refraction is better.
What is the suffix for refraction?
The suffix for refraction is "-tion".
How does the angle of refraction change as the index of refraction of the bottom material increases?
As the index of refraction of the bottom material increases, the angle of refraction will decrease. This relationship is governed by Snell's Law, which states that the angle of refraction is inversely proportional to the index of refraction. Therefore, higher index of refraction causes light to bend less when entering a denser medium.
How do you think increasing a medium's index of refraction might affect the angle of refraction?
Increasing the medium's index of refraction will cause the angle of refraction to decrease. This is because light bends more towards the normal as it enters a medium with a higher index of refraction.
What is it called when a seismic wave bends as it passes from liquid to solid rock.?
it is called refraction
How does refraction affect the appearance of the sky?
The sky is blue because of refraction. Sunsets and sunrise are so beautiful because of refraction. If there was no refraction, we would see the sky as a black expanse.
What is the root word for refraction?
Refraction is a noun.
When was Super Refraction created?
Super Refraction was created in 1997.
If the angle of incidence increases and the indexes of refraction stay the same what happens to the angle of refraction?
The angle if refraction also increases.
