It does both to a certain extent but its main purpose is to focus light.
a lens will refract light. a mirror will reflect the light.
Refract light. They only reflect when you see a glare or ghost image
Yes
The most refractive color is white, so the whiter U are the more U will refract/reflect~
Water can both refract and reflect light. When light travels from one medium to another in water, it bends due to the change in speed, which is known as refraction. Additionally, light can also reflect off the surface of water, creating a reflection.
well three things happen when light strikes an object Refract Reflect absorb
A prism refracts light because it's a transparent element with flat, polished surfaces.
Transparent objects allow light to pass through them without significant absorption. They reflect a small amount of light at their surfaces due to differences in refractive index but primarily refract light as it passes through.
A periscope uses mirrors to reflect light, allowing users to see objects not in direct line of sight.
Eyeglasses primarily refract light as they bend it to focus properly on the retina. Some reflection may occur on the surfaces of the lenses, but the main function is to refract light to correct vision.
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.
