What happens to a ray of light that slows down when it hits a new medium at an angle?
The change in speed causes the light to bend. If it is travelling from an optically dencer to an optically rarer medium the ray will bend away from the normal. But if it is travelling from an optically rarer to an optically denser medium then it will bend towards the normal.
What happend to rays of light when they are refracted by a convex lens?
Now suppose that the rays of light are traveling through the focal point on the way to the lens. These rays of light will refract when they enter the lens and refract when they leave the lens. As the light rays enter into the more dense lens material, they refract towards the normal; and as they exit into the less dense air, they refract away from the normal. These specific rays will exit the lens traveling parallel to the principal axis.
Does water refract light?
Yes, it does refract light.
Can opaque substances refract light?
No, opaque substances can NOT refract light. It is impossible to refract light if it is blocking it's path.
When light rays enter a medium at an angle they?
The light rays will refract towards the normal of the medium and emerge out at the same angle.

Does a laser light refract or bend?
Refract
What can be used to refract white light?
a prism can be used to refract wight light
What causes light rays to refract?
light travels in straight path and when speed of medium in which light travels change then it refract due to change in speed light rays bend and refract
Why does a swimming pool look not as deep as it actually is?
The rays of light refract from water to the air so they refract away from the normal and this means that the bottom of the pool seems less deep than it is.
Do mirrors reflect or refract light?
A prism refracts light, and a mirror reflects light.
When light waves are travelling through a slower medium they move which way towards the normal?
away from the normal
Do lenses refract light?
when light falls from air on lens it undergoes refraction as lens is denser than air light on entering lens move towards normal and is bent and while leaving moves away from normal
