Questions and Answers

What is the phenomenon called when light bends as it passes from one material to another?

  • Refraction (correct)
  • Reflection
  • Dispersion
  • Diffraction

    • Why does refraction occur?

  • Because the speed of light changes when it enters a different medium (correct)
  • Due to the light's wavelength increasing
  • Due to the light being absorbed by the new medium
  • Because light always travels in a curved path

    • What happens to light when it travels from a less dense to a denser medium?

  • It stops
  • It speeds up
  • It reflects back
  • It slows down (correct)
