Why does a ray of light bend when it travels from one medium to another?? |
|
Answer» The bending of light as it passes from ONE medium to another is CALLED REFRACTION. The angle and wavelength at which the light enters a substance and the DENSITY of that substance DETERMINE how much the light is refracted. The bending occurs because light travels more slowly in a denser medium. |
