<h2><em>This change of direction is called refraction. When light enters a more dense substance (higher refractive index), it 'bends' more towards the normal line. The amount of bending depends on two things: Change in speed – if a substance causes the light to speed up or slow down more, it will refract (bend) more.</em></h2><h2><em>Hop</em><em>e</em><em> it</em><em> helps</em><em>.</em><em>.</em></h2>
