When light passes through a prism, the light is refracted twice, first when it enters the prism and then when it leaves the prism. The amount of refraction depends on the angle at which the light enters the prism. Refraction can also occur in water, where light is bent at an angle when it passes from one medium to the other.

Light refracts when it travels from one transparent substance into another. Figure 1 to the right shows light bending towards the normal as it enters a glass block, and bending away from the normal when it exits it.

Light travels at different speeds through different substances. The differences in its speed result in different amounts of bending, or refraction, as light passes from one substance into another
Why does refraction occur?

The refraction index is a measure of how easily light travels through a substance. The smaller the refraction index, the faster light will travel through a material. This means that when a substance causes light to bend a lot, it has a high refraction index.

The incoming ray of a light make with the normal is called the angle of incidence (i). The angle that the refracted ray makes with the normal is called the angle of refraction (r)
