Are contacts reflection or refraction?

Light is bent going through contact lenses, so they are refraction.


How does concave lens work?

Concave lenses work by refraction of light.


Which property of light wave makes the image seen through lenses?

refraction


The refraction of light in a diamond is greater for?

Short Wavelength light


Will a camera refract light?

Cameras do not refract light, lenses do. Refraction occurs whenever light passes from one medium to another, so it is not something that only occurs with lenses.


How is refraction of light related to wave length of colors?

The longer the wavelength, the greater the angle of refraction.


Describe the behavior of light that enables magnifying lenses and contact lenses?

The behavior of light that enables optical lenses to magnify images is called refraction. refraction is the bending of light. This happens when light enters a medium with a different "index of refraction." Index of refraction is a property of a material that measures how much the material's electric and magnetic fields interfere with light (which is an electromagnetic wave). This interference slows light down. The way I understand it, the front of the way slows down before the back of the wave, causing it to change trajectory like a bullet in water. The change in trajectory is a property of the geometry of the system of lenses which include the magnifying lens, lenses in your eye, and the object being magnified. You can find diagrams online of how this works.


What is refraction in photography?

In Photography, refraction has the same rules as in physics. Well, photography is all about engineering and physics. Refraction encompasses the situation where light goes through a semi transparent object and the photons are slightly drifted from its normal course because the surface they hit separates them. You can see this effect inside a pool or when you look at your own reflection at a cracked mirror.

What cause refraction of light to happen?

This is caused by a change in the speed of light .


What is the difference between mirror and lenses?

Light passes through a lens, typically being bent by refraction. Light reflects off a mirror.
