Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Good luck!
1. What is refraction?
The bouncing of light off a surface.
The bending of light as it passes from one medium to another.
The blocking of light by an object.
The absorption of light by a surface.
2. When light enters a denser medium (like water from air), what happens to its speed?
It speeds up.
It slows down.
It stays the same.
It changes direction but not speed.
3. The bending of light is caused by a change in its as it moves from one medium to another.
4. A prism separates white light into different colors because each color of light refracts at a slightly different .
5. Look at the image below. Explain why the light ray bends as it enters the water.
6. Give two real-world examples of refraction you might observe in everyday life.
