Refraction can be seen when light passes through different mediums such as air and water, causing the light rays to change direction. This phenomenon is visible in everyday situations, such as a straw appearing bent in a glass of water or when light bends as it passes through a prism.
What else can I help you with?
Do different liquids cause refraction to change?
Yes, different liquids have different refractive indices, which can cause the amount of refraction to change when light passes through them. This can lead to distortions in the appearance and position of objects as seen through the liquid.
Which property of light wave makes the image seen through lenses?
The property of light waves that allows an image to be seen through lenses is the refraction of light. When light waves pass through a lens, they are bent or refracted, causing the rays to converge or diverge depending on the shape of the lens, resulting in the formation of an image.
What are some examples of light refraction in everyday life?
Some examples of light refraction in everyday life include the bending of light in a glass of water, the rainbow effect seen in a prism, and the distortion of objects when viewed through a magnifying glass.
What is it called when a wave goes from one medium to another and it changes speed and direction?
It is called refraction. Refraction occurs when a wave changes speed and direction as it travels from one medium to another, due to the change in its wave velocity and the change in the medium's optical density.
What is internal refraction?
Internal refraction occurs when light passes from one medium to another and bends due to a change in speed. This bending is caused by the change in the refractive index of the two media. It is a common phenomenon seen in lenses and prisms.
Why does fish appear to be bloated when seen on the side of aquarium?
a fish appear to be bloated when seen in aquarium because of refraction of light
When you place a coin in water you are unable to pick it up from where its image is seen because of?
Refraction
Can refraction be seen?
Yes, very easily. Get a glass of water and stick a straw in it. It will not look connected of straight.

How did Bobby get unvisible in things Not Seen?
It was because of refraction and there wasn't enough light for the naked eye to see.Refraction means to bend light.
What is seectrum?
spectrum? A band of colors, as seen in a rainbow, produced by separation of the components of light by their different degrees of refraction according to wavelength.
What are some examples of light refraction in everyday life?
Some examples of light refraction in everyday life include the bending of light in a glass of water, the rainbow effect seen in a prism, and the distortion of objects when viewed through a magnifying glass.
Why do distant objects ripple on a hot day?
Distance objects can be seen to "ripple" on a hot day because of refraction. As light from a distance object makes the trip to the observer, it passes through air of slightly varying densities. This causes it to "change course" to a degree, which is refraction. It is this thermally induced refraction that is responsible for the "ripple" we see, and for the mirage we sometimes hear about.
What is the suffix for refraction?
The suffix for refraction is "-tion".
