Light Refraction and Total Internal Reflection - A Quick Overview of the chapter 11 of Class 8 science book. Introduction to Light Refraction Light refraction is the bending of light when it passes from one transparent medium to another. This phenomenon occurs due to the change in the speed of light as it moves from a medium with one optical density to a medium with another optical density. The angle at which the light bends is determined by the difference in optical densities between the two mediums. Key Points about Light Refraction: Bending of Light: When light passes from one medium to another at an angle, it changes its direction. This change in direction is called refraction. Speed and Angle: Light travels at different speeds in different materials. As it enters a m...
