What do you understand by refraction of light?
Advertisements
उत्तर १
The change in the direction of the path of light, when it passes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium, is called refraction of light.
उत्तर २
In essence, the refraction of light is a surface phenomenon. "When a ray of light travels from one optical medium to another, it changes the direction of the path of light, and this is called the refraction of light."
