In this video we will explain the refraction of light using one of the excellent simulation from PhET interactive simulations. The simulation is entitled Bending Light. In part one we will review the basics of the refraction of light before presenting a detailed explain why a ray of light bends or does not bend when it crosses the boundary between two different materials. In the second part of the video we will determine the index fraction of Mystery Material A.
