can u help?

Answer 7

i would tell you but i keep getting warned :/

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

Here's an analogy. Consider the car to be light, and a bumpy road means a denser medium.



The differences between the speeds of the tires cause the car to change its direction and bend. This is similar to what happens with light when it hits a surface with a different optical density.

a denser medium <-> bumpier road -> slower the speed of light/car -> more the difference in speeds of wheels -> more the bending. that's how the density affects refraction.
