      What is the phenomenon of the bending of light as it

      passes from one medium to another called?  
      A Reflection Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Diffraction Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Refraction Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Dispersion Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium into another with a different optical density.   This occurs due to the change in the speed of light when it enters a new medium.   The amount of bending depends on the angle of incidence and the refractive indices of the two media.
