Refraction is the phenomena that occurs when a ray of light changes direction when it passes through a medium with a different refractive index.

This is observable as by submerging an object half in water half out. It looks like at the surface of the water the object, lets say your arm for example, is in the water at a different angle than it is outside of the water.

What do you called when the light bends as it enters a different medium the process is known as?

The process of light bending as it enters a different medium is known as refraction. Refraction occurs because light changes speed when it travels from one medium to another, causing the light wave to bend.


Which is not a process that has been proposed to explain the formation if precipitation?

One process that has not been proposed to explain the formation of precipitation is the "Circumhorizontal Arc" process. This term refers to a natural phenomenon where large, flat, horizontally oriented rainbows are formed by the refraction of sunlight through horizontally oriented ice crystals.

Does the Particle Model explain Refraction?

Yes, the Particle Model can explain refraction by considering light as a stream of particles (photons) that change speed and direction when passing through different mediums, causing the bending of light rays.


Is light the same as refraction?

No. Light is energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Refraction is a physical process that affects any wave.
