Question 11 • Physics

What best describes the refraction of light rays?

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

Explanation

Refraction is the bending of light as it moves from one material to another, such as from air into glass. A lens bends light rays as they pass through it, so “light bending when it passes through a lens” is the best description. B describes constructive interference, and D describes transmission without necessarily bending.
