Because when light enters a new substance, its speed changes. In order for the law demonstrated in the equation (frequency = speed/wavelength) to remain the same, the wavelength of the light particle/wave must shorten or lengthen. This change causes the wave to slightly refract to one side or the other.

What is refract the light?
If something refracts light it bends it.
Does the microscope refract or reflect light?
It refracts light
Can a mirror refracts light?
No, a mirror can not refrect. Instead, it can reflect. Water is an example of a substance that refracts.
Does light change speed when it refracts?
Yes.
What color refracts the most?
white light
Which colour of light refracts the most?
Violet
What happens when light passes through lens?
The light refracts or bend .
What refracts light twice in the same direction?
a prism
How light disperse through a drop of water?
It refracts
What part of a microscope refracts light?
Eyepiece and stage
What light does as it passes from one medium to another?
it refracts
How are prism and refract related?
When white light passes through a triangular prism, it refracts, meaning, the light bends. When white light refracts, it disperses (separates) into the colours it is made up of - ie. the colours of the rainbow.
