Reflect, refract and sing. Justin Lacy StarNews correspondent. As if rising from the basket of a snake charmer, three serpentine cylinders of glass climb up into the lights of the Cameron Art ...

Refraction is the bending of light rays. Normally, light travels in a straight line, and changes direction and speed when it passes from one transparent medium to another, such as from air into glass.

This leads us neatly into wave refraction. It's probably a term you've heard over the course of your surfing life. Either that or wave reflection—which is something completely different. Lots of ...

The law of reflection states that: angle of incidence i = angle of reflection r. For example, if a light ray hits a surface with an angle of incidence of 45°, it will be reflected with an angle ...

But only Newton saw what this implies: that refraction is then all there is to it. The colors themselves are already in the white light, and all the prism does is to separate them out.
