Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The change in direction of a beam of light as it travels from one medium to another is determined by the difference in the index of refraction between the two media, which is affected by both the wavelength of the light and the index of refraction of the two media. Therefore, all of the options presented in the question are factors that affect the change in direction of the beam of light.
