Meaning of refraction
refraction of light is the change in direction or bending of the light as it enters from one medium to another.
It is caused by the change in the velocity in which the velocity of light is lower is an optically denser medium.
Refraction is described by
snell’s
law
,which states that when a ray of light travels from vacuum (or air) at an angle of incidence ,I and refracted into a medium at an angle of refraction ,r.
n
=
sin
i
/ sin r
