Question

The change in the direction of the path of light when it passes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium is called:

Options

• Scattering of light

• Reflection of light

• Dispersion of light

• Refraction of light

Answer 1

When light travels from one transparent medium to another, its speed changes. Due to this change in speed, the light ray generally changes its direction, and this change in the direction of the path of light is called refraction of light.
