MCQ
$..........$ happens when a wave passes from one medium to another at an angle.
  • ✓
    Refraction
  • B
    Reflection
  • C
    Dispersion
  • D
    Scattering

Answer

Correct option: A.
Refraction

Refraction is a phenomenon in which when a ray passes from one medium to another it bends away from its straight-line path due to the difference in optical densities or refractive indices of the two mediums.
