Water reflects light when it bounces off its surface, similar to a mirror. Refraction occurs when light enters water and changes speed and direction due to the change in density from air to water, causing objects underwater to appear distorted or in a different position.
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.
Water can reflect light because of its smooth surface, which acts like a mirror. When light hits the surface, it bounces off at an angle equal to the angle at which it struck the water. Water can also refract light when it enters at an angle, causing it to change speed and direction as it moves through the water.
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.
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.
Yes, water can refract light. When light passes from one medium (such as air) into another medium (such as water), it changes speed and bends, leading to refraction. This is why objects may appear distorted when viewed through water.

refract
Refract light. They only reflect when you see a glare or ghost image

a lens will refract light. a mirror will reflect the light.
The most refractive color is white, so the whiter U are the more U will refract/reflect~
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.
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.
A periscope uses mirrors to reflect light, allowing users to see objects not in direct line of sight.
