Did you know?

Did you know that when light rays enter a new medium, they experience a phenomenon called refraction? Refraction refers to the bending of light rays as they pass from one medium to another, such as from air to water or from water to glass. This bending occurs due to the change in speed of light as it travels through different substances. It is this refraction that enables lenses to focus light and the formation of rainbows! So, next time you see a rainbow or wear glasses, you can appreciate the fascinating property of light and its ability to bend.
