    Question

    When light passes through a transparent material, light's direction changes through a small angle. this phenomenon is known as:

    A.

    Diffraction

    B.

    Dispersion

    C.

    Refraction

    D.

    Reflection

    Correct option is C


    Refraction:

    · Refraction is the phenomenon where the direction of light changes when it passes through a transparent material of different density.
    · This change in direction occurs because light travels at different speeds in different materials.
    · When light enters a new medium at an angle, its speed changes, causing it to bend. This bending of light is what we observe as refraction.
    Diffraction:
    · The bending of light waves around obstacles or the spreading of light waves when they pass through small openings.
    Dispersion:
    · The separation of light into its constituent colors (spectrum) due to different wavelengths of light refracting by different amounts.
    Reflection: The bouncing back of light rays when they hit a surface.
