Why does change in speed of ray of light makes it change its direction of travel |
|
Answer»
Light refracts WHENEVER it travels at an angle into a substance with a different REFRACTIVE index (optical density). This change of direction is CAUSED by a change in SPEED. For example, when light travels from air into water, it SLOWS down, causing it to continue to travel at a different angle or direction.
