Refractions

Refractions refer to the bending or change in direction of light, sound, or heat waves as they pass through different mediums. This phenomenon occurs due to the change in speed of the waves as they move from one medium to another, causing them to bend or change direction. Refractions are commonly observed in everyday situations, such as when a straw appears bent in a glass of water or when a pencil appears broken when partially submerged in water.
