Refraction - II

Description

Refraction II

Refraction happens when light bends while moving through different transparent materials. But not all materials bend light the same way. That’s because light slows down more in some materials than others.

Light travels fastest in air, slower in water, even slower in glass, a...

Transcript

Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one transparent medium to another, like from air to water.

But did you know light bends differently depending on the material it travels through?

This happens because light moves fastest in empty space and in the air, at about 300 million meters per second.

But when light ent...
