They refract.When light passes from one transparent medium to another then the light ray refract or we can say it deviate from its straight path.

What is the difference between reflection and absorption?

Reflection is when a wave of light bounces away from the material, depending on the material it may maintain its strength. However absorbtion is when the beam of light hits a material and does not bounce back. To explain why light does not bounce back (becomes absorbed) you will need to know about the colour spectrum. A wave of white light contains, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. Certain coloured materials will absorb and reflect certain colours of the colour spectum. So say we aim our wave of light at a black filter. Black will absorb every colour in the colour spectum, thus not allowing for any reflection.


Why do scientists prefer to talk about a wave model of light instead of saying that light is a wave?

"Visible light" is that part of the electromagnetic spectrum (which includes radio waves, heat, X-rays and Gamma rays) which our eyes can detect. Thus when scientists are talking about "light" they are talking about ALL of the spectrum and when they say "visible light" they are talking about that small bit of the spectrum that we can see.

What are infrared rays?

Infrared rays are electromagnetic waves with a wavelength longer than the wavelength of visible 'red' light [or you could say they have a lower frequency than red light]. Infrared 'light' is used in TV remote controls to transmit information to an infrared receiver on the TV, and also in security systems to create an invisible 'light beam' that when broken, will send a signal back to the system.

When is the image said to be real or virtual image?

An image is called real if the light rays coming from a point(point on object) meet at a point after reflection or refraction. An image is virtual if the light rays do not actually meet after reflection or refraction. These rays appear to come from a point which is the point where we say virtual image is formed.
