Bending Light

Light travels super fast, but when it passes from air into water or glass, it slows down and bends! This is refraction.

Laser Angle (प्रिज्म कोण):45° degrees

Change the angle slider. Observe the incident laser bend inward towards the normal vertical line as it slows down in the thick water.

Rainbows and magnifying glasses work entirely because of light bending (refraction)!

💡

Refraction is what makes a straw look bent or broken when you place it inside a glass of water!

Refraction is the bending of light as it passes between materials.

Light slows down in denser materials (glass, water) and speeds up in air.

Lenses use refraction to focus light and magnify objects.

Prisms split white light into 7 rainbow colors by refracting different wavelengths at different angles.
