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)
