• When light hits a different surface than what it had been traveling in, some light is reflected and some is refracted (bent).
• Light passes through substances at different speeds, causing it to bend.

• The index of refraction measures the speed at which light moves through the substance.
• The more that light is bent (refracted) as it passes through a substance, the higher the index of refraction of the substance.

Refraction of Light by Water• The index of
refracton for water is 4/3, meaning that light travels 3/4 as fast in water as it does in vacuum.

‘When hunting a fish under water, you should aim your spear directly at the fish.’ Do you agree?
Yes, of course.
No, because the fish is actually located somewhere else.
No, because size of objects changes when they are put under water.
