Light always travels in straight lines. When it encounters a boundary between different
indices of refraction, the straight line may change to a different direction.

When light travels through a pair of eyeglasses is it reflected or refracted?
Refracted. Light passing through is refracted, light bouncing off of is reflected.
How light is reflected and refracted in a diamond?
Light is reflected and refracted in a diamond based on the angles of its facets relative to the source of the light.
When is light refracted?
light is refracted when it travels through air and then through glass
What is a copy of an object formed by reflected or refracted rays of light?
An image is a copy of an object fromed by reflected (or refracted) rays of light.
What happens when a ray of light strikes a flat water surface?
Whenever light hits a water surface, some of the light is reflected off, and some of it is refracted, or "bent", deeper into the water. The proportion that is reflected and refracted depends on the wavelength of the light and the angle of incidence. When light goes straight down into the water, most of it penetrates the surface and goes into the water. When the light impacts at an angle, more of the light is reflected away.

How will you compare prism to raindrops?

When is light refracted?
light is refracted when it travels through air and then through glass
What happened to light when it is refracted?
When light is Refracted it bends when it travels from one medium to another
When light goes through a camera lens is it reflected or refracted?
It would be refracted.
What is a copy of an object formed by reflected or refracted rays of light?
An image is a copy of an object fromed by reflected (or refracted) rays of light.
When light is reflected or refracted it does what?
It bounces in a different direction
How is light refracted and reflected?
Light is perfectly reflected from a surface when the roughness of the surface is small compared to the wavelength of the light. Otherwise the reflection is diffuse.Light is refracted when it passes from one medium to another of a different refractive index. One in which the light travels at a different speed than in vacuo.

What is the difference between reflected rays of light and refracted rays?
When a beam of light hits a mirror and bounces off, it is reflected. When light is refracted it means the light penetrates into a substance and changes the direction of its movement.
Is production of rainbow light reflected or refracted?
A reflected light would be light reflected by a mirror, and the light would remain unchanged. A reflected light of daylight is when white light is split into 'rainbow' colours.
