5

When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:

74% Answer Correctly

conduction

convection

refraction

reflection


Solution

Because different materials have different refractive indices, light changes speed when passing from one material to another. This causes the light to bend (refraction) at an angle that depends on the change in refractive index between the materials. The greater the difference, the higher the angle of refraction.
