The bending of light rays as they pass into a denser medium is termed:
- Reflection
- Refraction
- Dispersion
- Deflection
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: B. Refraction
1. Light changes direction when its speed changes on entering a new medium.
2. This bending at the interface is called refraction.
3. Hence the answer is refraction.
