Refraction of light waves. light waves also undergo refraction when they pass from one medium to another medium. For example, when light waves cross the boundary between two media or angles, the direction in which the light wave is moving undergoes a sudden change, indicating the path of light is bent. This behavior of Lightwave refraction can be described conceptually as a wave that will bend in a faster or slower motion depending on the higher or lower frequency of the surface medium. To understand frequencies of lat, please refer to my other color course, which describes the different frequencies associated with light and color. Interestingly, the amount of bending is dependent upon the actual speed Have the two media on each side of the boundary of surfaces.

The amount of bending is a measurable behavior that follows distinct mathematical equations. These equations are based upon the speeds of waves in the two media and the angles at which the wave approaches and departs from these boundaries. This course will not cover the mathematical aspects of light refraction. Instead, it's important that you have an understanding of how and why we should consider refraction of mediums in selecting lighting for different Surface Materials and different design solutions.
