the bending of light as it passes into new medium and changes speed

the bending of light around or through a barrier and changes speed

when light bounces off a boundary and changes speed

the bending of light as it crosses a boundary into a new medium with the same speed

As light leaves air and enters water or glass it....

gets slower and bends towards the normal

gets faster and bends towards the normal

gets faster and bends away from the normal

gets slower and bends away from the normal

This picture illustrates ...

light refracts away from the normal when leaving water and entering air

light refracts towards the normal when leaving water and entering air

light does not refract when leaving water and entering air

light continues to travel in a straight line across the boundary between water and air

According to Willebord Snell, light passing from air to glass will cause the light to

accelerate while it is in glass

When does the light is refracted?

When light travels in two different mediums

When light travels in a straight line

When light cannot pass through an opaque object

What is the conclusion from your observation in this picture?

Light travels in a straight line

Light can pass through a transparent material

What does it mean to refract?

to bend something, almost always light

a polished surface which reflects an image

allowing light but not detail to pass through

According to Willebord Snell, light passing from air to glass will cause the light to

accelerate while it is in glass

A student placed a pencil in a cup of water. The pencil appears broken because light-

bends when it passes through water

always travels in a straight line

makes the water in the glass evaporate

reflects the pencil on the water's surface
