Q

What happens in refraction

A

As light travels through different medians/masses, the speed changes. Thus changes the direction

Q

Process of seeing using the eye

A

Light bounces of objects into our eyes specifically the pupil which creates a image to the retina which then electrical impulses carry to the brain and help us see an image
