Question
In refraction, light wave are bent on passing from one medium to the second medium,because, in the second medium :
Options
A.The frequency is different
B.the coefficient of elasticity is different
C.the speed is different
D.the amplitude is smaller
Solution
Since the speed of light changes in the second medium, its direction also changes.
