Question

when light bends as it passes from one transparent object to another, the light is
which best completes the statement?
absorbed
reflected
refracted
bounced

Explanation:

• Absorbed: Light being absorbed means it is taken in by the object and not transmitted or reflected. This does not involve bending.
• Reflected: Reflection is when light bounces off a surface. It does not involve passing through to another transparent object and bending.
• Refracted: Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium (transparent object) to another. This matches the description in the statement.
• Bounced: This is similar to reflected. It implies light just changes direction at a surface without passing through to another transparent object in the way described.

Answer:

refracted
