Answer 1

Refraction is the cause of light bending when it moves from one transparent medium to another.

Step-by-step explanation:

When light moves from one transparent medium to another, it can bend due to a change in speed. This phenomenon is known as refraction. Refraction occurs because the speed of light changes as it moves from one medium to another with a different refractive index.
