Answer» IT IS BECAUSE OF REFRACTION.In physics, refraction is the change in direction of a wave PASSING from one MEDIUM to another or from a gradual change in the medium. Refraction of light is the most COMMONLY observed phenomenon, but other WAVES such as sound waves and water waves also EXPERIENCE refraction. How much a wave is refracted is determined by the change in wave speed and the initial direction of wave propagation relative to the direction of change in speed. |
