What type of lens causes light rays to refract?
A convex lens causes light rays to converge, or refract, towards a focal point. This type of lens is thicker at the center than at the edges, causing light rays passing through it to bend inward.
Why does light refract or bend when it travels through glass or water?
Light slows down when it travels through a denser medium like glass or water compared to air. This change in speed causes the light to change direction, or refract, as it enters the denser medium. The amount of bending depends on the difference in speed between the two mediums.
What causes light rays to refract?
Light rays refract when they pass through mediums with different optical densities, causing the speed of light to change. This change in speed results in the light rays bending as they move from one medium to another. The amount of bending depends on the angle at which the light enters the new medium.
Do all colors refract at the same angle when entering a medium?
No, different colors of light refract at slightly different angles when entering a new medium due to their unique wavelengths. This dispersion of light causes the colors to separate, such as in a rainbow or through a prism.
Why does light refract when it travels through water?
Light refracts when it travels through water because the speed of light changes as it passes from one medium to another with a different optical density. This change in speed causes the light to bend, or refract, resulting in the change in direction of the light rays.
What causes light to refract when it hits a piece of glass?
the light rays hit the piece of glass and the surface of the glass causes it to refract

Why is it that stars twinkle for earth but not from the moon?
This is because the Earth's atmosphere has many layers which causes the rays of light coming from the stars to refract. This gives the effect that stars twinkle. The air around the moon does not have layers so the rays from the stars do not refract, and thus do not twinkle.

What are some objects that refract light?
Water, gasses. Any other medium that has a different "n" value gives rise to a bending of light.

Light refracts when it travels through water because the speed of light changes as it passes from one medium to another with a different optical density. This change in speed causes the light to bend, or refract, resulting in the change in direction of the light rays.
How do binoculars refract liht?
The lenses in binoculars do -- that's how focusng works.
