Refraction, in physics, is the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium to another. The degree of bending of light rays will be variable, depending on the density of the two media. Air for example has a low density, so it causes slight bending of light. In contrast, glass has a higher density, so it causes larger bending of light. When applying this principle in practice, we can say that a lens or a curved mirror has a light-refractive power (light- bending power), the larger the refractive power, the stronger the lens. The unit of measurement of refractive power is the diopter ..read more
