Refraction is the bending of light when it passes through a substance.
Microscopes, magnifying glasses, glasses, and telescopes all depend on refraction.
Rainbows are created by refraction.
When bow hunting for fish, an illusion is created about where it is. If one doesn't correct for the illusion, it is difficult to shoot the fish.

∙ 14y agowhen light refracts ,its speed & direction changes. but still there is an exceptional case ,which is when light is incident on the interface of the two mediums normally, & in this case the direction of light remains unchanged , though the speed may change

What are two things that determine the color of a light wave?
the two things that determine the color of a light wave are its wavelength and the material it reflects from.
Is it true when light travels from one medium through another light it refracts?
Refraction of light is a phenomenon in which light rays passing from one medium to another change its direction. Refraction takes place at the interface of two medium of different optical density.For a light of given wavelength and for a given pair of media, the ratio of sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is always a constant. And this constant is called the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first medium.
What is it called when light crosses a boundary from one substance to another?
Light refracts when is crosses the boundary between two materials. That means that is the light is coming in at one angle, then it will change direction at the interface and have a different angle moving out from the other side. There is an old formula called Snell's Law that predicts the exit angle in terms of the properties of the material, i.e. in terms of the index of refraction. There is reflection as well. Some light bounces off of a boundary and some is transmitted.
What are two things that can reflect light?
mirror and glass
Name two things that produce light?
lightbulbs and the sun
Curved glass that bends light rays?
A lens is a curved glass that refracts or bends light rays. The two principal types of lenses are convex and concave.

How do you change a brake light bulb in a 2000 Hyundi accent?
You have to take the whole light out, there is two screws to take out, then the light will pull out. Then change the bulb. Greeny
Does your head hair go darker when you cut it?
No cutting hair has no effect on your hair color, the only two things that change your hair tone is sun light and aging.
How did landlines change to mobiles?
Landlines did not change to mobiles. They are two different things.
What are two things the sun provides your solar system because it is a star?
Two things the Sun provides is heat and light.
