As a beam of light travels from one medium to another,the change in direction of the beam of light depends on:
A) the wavelength of the light.
B) the index of refraction of the medium through which it is traveling.
C) the index of refraction of the medium into which it is moving.
D) all of the above

When a beam of light travels from one medium to another, the change in direction of the beam of light depends on all three factors listed in the options. The wavelength of the light affects the amount of bending that occurs when it passes from one medium to another. The index of refraction of the medium through which the light is traveling and the index of refraction of the medium into which the light is moving both affect how much the light is bent as it passes between the two media. Therefore, the correct answer is D, all of the above.
