Correct Answer: refraction
Solution : The correct answer is refraction .
The difference in the media's refractive index accordingly the speed fluctuations cause the refraction phenomena. A direction change results from this change in speed. Refraction is when a ray bends away from its path of least resistance when it moves from one medium to another because of the disparity in the refractive indices or optical densities of the two media. Deviation refers to this bending.
