Refraction of light
01
Overview
Refraction of light is the physical phenomenon in which the direction of light changes as it passes from one medium to another with a different refractive index, due to a change in its speed[1][3][7]. This effect explains why objects appear bent in water, underlies the function of lenses and optical instruments, and is responsible for phenomena like rainbows and optical illusions[1][7][8]. Refraction is governed by Snell’s law, which relates the angles and refractive indices of the two media[1][5][7]. Refraction is not a molecular, pharmacological, or biological target; it is a concept in physical optics.
