Best Answer

Light slows down and changes direction, determined by the index of refraction.

Magnifying lenses bend lots of light rays towards a single point making the object appear larger.

What happens to a beam of light once it hits water?

The incident ray (the incoming light) hits the water and then the speed is slowed. It is called 'Refraction'. Which is the bending of light through a translucent or transparent object.

What part of your eye refracts light?

The retina which is where the image from the eye lens is focused. The retina is the reflective part of the eye. That's why cat's eye reflect so well, their retina are more exposed in the night because their pupils (or whatever they are in a cat) open wider than ours exposing more of that mirror at the back, the retina. Meeow!


What happens when light passes into a material where the speed of light is faster?

-- Its speed increases. -- Its wavelength increases. -- It refracts away from the normal to the interface at the point of incidence.
