Is a light bulb an example of reflection or refraction?
It is refraction
When there is no refraction of light and why does it happen?
There will be refraction when light passes from one substance to the other (for example, from air to water), when the two substances have different indices of refraction, and when light passes the surface at an angle. In other cases, there is no refraction.
A prism is a device that separates white light waves into the colors of visible light Which of the following processes allows a prism to work?
Refraction
When convexity of the lens is increased and light refraction does what?
The light refraction is decreased.
How does refraction can separate white light into color?
The reason white light is separated into colors is because light of different colors have slightly different indices of refraction. Thus, for example, red light might be bent a little bit more than blue light.

A converging lens changes the direction of light through the process of?
A converging lens changes the direction of light through the process of refraction. A lens is a device that uses refraction to bend light to form an image.
Is when light bends as it passes through an object?
Yes...supermassive blackholes are a good example.
Can you give me an example of a sentence using the word refraction and medium?
" The light is bent by refraction, caused by the medium through which it passes"

Can a fire start through the refraction and conversion of light in real life or in murder mysteries?
Yes it can. refraction of light is where light energy is condenced into a fine are... this is called the point of refraction... this occours for example if a magnifine galss was being held over an area the thinnest part of the light going through is the point of refraction. as the the light is most condenced here it becomes hot. therefore when refraction occours over a long period it can for example grass or a leaf cathch in fire.....in real life :)
How does refraction change light?
What is Refraction?? What is Refraction??
Is light bending going through a prism an example of a reflection?
Light bending as it passes through a prism is an example of refraction, not reflection.
Differntiate between reflection of light and refraction of light?
when light hits an object...for example a mirror..it"ll bounce back(reflection) but when light goes into a new middel...for example from air to water it'll cahnge directions and the speed of light may also change ( that's refraction)
If the bending of light waves as they pass at an angle into a medium such as water is an example of?
Refraction
What is internal refraction?
internal refraction is when the ray of light is refracted, for example in a glass or plastic semicircle, and it's refracted inside the semicircle, notoutside.
