Refraction occurs when a beam of light is bent, and is caused by a change in the speed of the beam as it passes from one transparent medium to another.
Refraction is the basis for vision and for optical lenses, which focus light rays into a new image. It also creates rainbows when individual color frequencies are split from white light.
