Questions and Answers

What is refraction of light?

  • The dispersion of light into its constituent colors
  • The change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another due to the change in speed (correct)
  • The absorption of light by a medium
  • The reflection of light off a surface
  • What causes refraction to occur?
