पर्याय
Reflection of light
Refraction of light
Dispersion of light
Aabsorption of light
Scattering of light
उत्तर
Light changes its direction when going from one transparent medium to another transparent medium. This is called refraction of light.
Explanation:
- When light travels through a transparent material, like glass or water, it bends, a phenomenon known as refraction.
- This occurs because light travels at various speeds through different optical densities.
