Refraction

A

bending or change in direction of the ray. Light is transmitted (went through the medium)

Q

Factors affecting Refraction

A

(1) Material itself. Optical density. More slow down; higher density.
(2) Obliquity of incident light ray. No changing direction.
(3) Wavelength of incident light. Yellow light. Different frequency; different speed.
