Refractions
Refractions, a phenomenon of light's deviation as it passes through different mediums, are essential in understanding the behavior of light in optics. When light transitions from one medium to another, such as air to water or glass, its speed changes, causing a change in direction. This alteration in direction, known as refraction, is governed by Snell's Law, which quantifies how much light bends. Refractions play a crucial role in various everyday applications, from the formation of rainbows in nature to the functionality of lenses in eyeglasses and cameras. Understanding refractions is foundational in comprehending the manipulation and control of light in optical systems.
