Refraction of light travelling from one transparent medium to another can be used to form:

AImages
BShadows
CEchoes
DCurrents
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Images
1. Refraction has a practical consequence. 2. Light bends as it crosses between transparent media. 3. The refraction of light as it travels from one medium to another can be used to form images. 4. Lenses work on exactly this principle. _Source: OpenStax College Physics for AP Courses 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 25 'Geometric Optics', sections 25.1-25.7_
