medium Q15 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Understand the phenomenon
Light changes direction when it passes from one medium to another due to change in speed.Step 2: Identify the correct term
This bending of light is called refraction. Reflection is bouncing back, diffraction is bending around edges, and polarization is orientation of waves.Final Answer:
Refraction → Option AQuick Check:
Bending of light in different media = Refraction ✅
Quick Trick: Refraction = bending of light at interface of media.
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Confusing refraction with reflection or diffraction.
