Question
Refraction is caused bya. light bouncing off a surface.b. light changing colors as it enters a new medium.c. light speeding up as it enters a new medium.d. light slowing down as it enters a new medium.
Step 1
Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another. This bending is caused by a change in the speed of light as it moves from one medium to another. Show more…
