When light passes from air into water, its speed decreases, causing it to bend or change direction. This bending is known as refraction, and it occurs because light travels at different speeds in different materials. The amount of refraction depends on the difference in the refractive indices of the two materials.

What is an example of abrupt refraction?
An example of abrupt refraction is when light waves pass from air into water, causing a sudden change in their speed and direction. This can be observed when a straw seems to bend at the point where it enters a glass of water due to the refraction of light waves.
When light rays travel from air to water what is the effect known as?
The effect is known as refraction. Refraction is the bending of light as it travels from one medium to another, due to the change in speed of light.
