Refraction refers to _____.
A. light rays "bouncing off" of an object
B. light being completely absorbed by a medium
C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another
D. the transmission of light without altering its direction or any other properties

Refraction is a phenomenon typical of wave. Refraction occurs when a wave travels through the boundary between two different mediums. When this occurs, the wave changes speed, wavelength and direction (but the frequency remains the same).

In particular, the direction of the refracted ray is determined by Snell's Law:

[tex]n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2[/tex]

where

[tex]n_1[/tex] is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

[tex]n_2[/tex] is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

[tex]\theta_1[/tex] is the angle of incidence, which is the angle between the direction of the incident wave and the normal to the boundary

[tex]\theta_2[/tex] is the angle of refraction, which is the angle between the direction of the refracted wave and the normal to the boundary

Therefore, the correct description of refraction is

C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another
