Refraction is what light does when it travels from one material to another. Refraction is when the light changes direction because it is passing through one medium to another.

How is refracted?

The refraction of light means that although light travels in straight lines, when it moves from one substance into another, it can change direction. This happens because the wave changes speed as it travels between different types of materials.As a light wave travelsbetween diffrent clear substances, the light wave bends. When light passes one substance to another, the light changes direction.
