Question 13 • Crowley Credit Recovery Physics B

What best describes the refraction of light rays?

Answer
A
light bouncing off of a mirror
B
light bending when it passes through a lens
C
light getting brighter when two waves combine
D
light passing through a clear glass window

Explanation

Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one material into another, such as from air into glass. A lens bends light rays, so “light bending when it passes through a lens” is the best description. Light bouncing off a mirror is reflection, while the other choices describe wave combination and transmission.
