  • Exploring Refraction

    wave undergoes refraction as it approaches the medium. This can be demonstrated by shining a beam of light through a block of rectangular glass. Refraction also causes the wave length to change but the frequency never changes. How does refraction happen? Light slows down as it hits a denser medium for example, glass. If you were to direct a beam of light at a glass block you will see that the light changes direction when entering the glass. The reason for this is when the light comes into
