Refraction
when light travels from air to a transparent object it is travelling trough a different media
of different densities therefore it slows down.
If the ray of light enters a new medium at an angle to the normal(line drawn to 90 degrees)
then one side of the beam of light will change speed slightly before the other side making it
change direction

actually light is another type of wave
which travel in ether medium which is disturbed by the atom of matter so disturbance causes bend of light.....

Does refraction occur only if rays are straight up and down?
No refraction can occur either way!
For refraction to occur in a wave the wave must?
For refraction to occur in a wave, the wave must enter a new medium at an angle.
In which of the following would refraction occur?
More details!
Does refraction occur for both sound and light waves?
Refraction occurs for any waves, where there's a change in the medium.
What has to be different to allow refraction to occur?
The density. Refraction occurs at the boundary between two media of differing densities, such as air and water.
Does refraction occur when light passes through a piece of glass?
Yes, it is true.
Would refraction still occur if light did not change speed when passing from medium to another?
No
How does refraction occur in water?
It is because of the change in velocity of light in two different media.
What is the difference between refraction and transmission?
the difference is transmission occur in same medium,but refraction occurs whn 2 medias are there,its actually bending of light at interface of 2 medias
Which two interaction will occur to the light ray when you move it left to right?
one is refraction i can assure you that.
What is the definition of critical angle?
The definition of critical angle is the angle of incidence that refraction can still occur.
Why refraction does not occur in opaque medium?
Refraction is the bending of the rays of light when it travels from one medium to another... For refraction to occur there should be some difference in the refractive index of the materials.... Refraction can also occur in Opaque medium........
