  • Refraction of light refers to the changes in the direction of light when it travels from one medium to another, where the mediums have different densities.
  • The angle of refraction is the angle between the normal and the refracted ray.
  • Waves bend because the speed of the waves change when traveling from one medium to another.
  • When light reaches a convex lens, it refracts inwards.
  • The reason that the convex lens causes light to refract inwards is because the edges of the lens are curved outwards.
  • The refraction of light through a convex lens is caused by the light slowing down and changing direction as it passes through a denser material.
  • A Double Convex Lens is an oval-shaped lens that curves outwards on each side.
