this is because when light is passing into a different medium, it will travel at a different speed. As a result, it bends (refracts). in this case, from air to water.
The angles of refraction can be found using Snell's law
n of medium 1 (sin theta) = n of medium 2 (sin theta)
n of a medium is called the index of refraction, which you can find on the internet.
The light will be refracted towards the normal when it passes from glass to water, as water has a lower refractive index than glass. This means the light ray will bend towards the line that is perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence.
yes
Light is not refracted when while it passes through a vacuum, or through any uniform material.
when it passes through a new material
When light passes from air to water, the light is refracted because water is denser than air and therefore slows down the speed of the light.
Refracted light
Light is refracted when it passes from one medium to another with a different optical density, such as from air to water or from air to glass. This phenomenon causes the light to change direction as it enters the new medium due to a change in its speed.
when light passes throught a plane where its bends
Its being Refracted.
White light is made by all the colours creating constructive interference. When light passes through water, the light is refracted but they are all refracted differently creating a spectrum of the colours making white light, a rainbow.
When light passes through a lens, both the parallel rays of light and the converging or diverging rays of light are refracted. The refraction causes the light rays to converge or diverge, which helps in focusing the image on the retina.
