Question
- what causes light to refract? (1 point)
it strikes a mirror and reflects to form an image.
it passes from one medium to another.
its angle of incidence equals its the angle of reflection.
Refraction occurs when light passes from one medium to another. When light moves between media with different optical densities (such as from air to water), its speed changes, causing it to bend. The first option describes reflection (not refraction) as it involves a mirror. The third option is the law of reflection (angle of incidence equals angle of reflection), which is also related to reflection, not refraction.
