Refraction of Light

Instructions: Select a substance from the dropdown menu to see how light bends when it enters that material. The angle of refraction will change based on the refractive index of the chosen substance.

Air

Explanation:

When light travels from one medium to another, it changes speed and direction. This phenomenon is called refraction. The amount of bending depends on the refractive index of the substance. Materials with higher refractive indices cause light to bend more sharply.
