Question

1. which explains why light bends when it passes from air to water? (1 point)

it generates more energy.
it changes speed.
it generates heat.
it is reflected.

Explanation:

When light passes from one medium (air) to another (water), it undergoes refraction. Refraction occurs because the speed of light changes when it moves from one medium to another. The change in speed causes the light to bend. Energy conservation principles mean light doesn't "generate more energy" when moving between these media. Generating heat is not the cause of bending in this context. Reflection would mean the light bounces back, not bends as it enters the new medium.

Answer:

It changes speed.
