refracted light
Spectrum through glass
Light that has been bent as it passes from one medium into another—such as from air into water or through a prism.
The bending occurs because light travels at different speeds through different substances.
Refracted light from the swimming pool created shimmering patterns on the ceiling.
A prism separates white light into its component colors because each wavelength refracts at a slightly different angle.
