When a ray of light travels from a rarer medium to a denser medium, it gets bent towards the normal. This bending occurs because the light slows down in the denser medium, causing the direction of the ray to shift ...

A stick immersed in water appears bent due to the refraction of light. When light travels from water to air, it bends at the interface. This bending alters the apparent position of the stick, making it look bent at the ...
An object above the water surface appears higher than its actual position to a person underwater due to the refraction of light. As light travels from air to water, it bends towards the normal, causing the object to appear elevated, ...
A fish lying inside water appears slightly above its actual depth due to the refraction of light. When light passes from water to air, it bends away from the normal. This bending causes the fish to appear at a shallower ...
When a compact disc (CD) is viewed in sunlight, the colors similar to those of a rainbow are seen due to the phenomena of reflection and diffraction. The CD’s surface consists of closely spaced tracks that act as a diffraction ...
