    Refraction occurs when light passes from one medium to another of different density, causing the direction of light to change. Light travels slower in denser mediums like water, bending as it passes from air to water and making objects appear displaced from their actual position. Refraction can produce optical illusions like mirages and has been used to prototype cloaking technology that bends light around an object.

    REFRACTION

    Refraction can make an object appear to be on a different position

    Definition

    The change in direction suffered by a ray of


    light as passes obliquely from one optical
    medium to another with different optical
    densities is known as refraction

    Key Ideas

    Light refraction occurs when something gets in


    the way of the light waves. Light, like most
    other materials, travels mainly in waves

    Experiment Fun Facts

    Because the light can’t travel as quickly in the Refraction of light can produce mirages, such
    water as it does in the air, the light bends as the appearance of water on hot highways, or
    around the pencil, causing it to look bent in the in the desert. Scientists and engineers have
    water. Basically, the light refraction gives the used the bending of light by refraction to make
    pencil a slight magnifying effect, which makes a prototype of a cloak of invisibility.
    the angle appear bigger than it actually is,
    causing the pencil to look crooked.
