Refraction is when light hits an air-glass boundary, there are three things that happen to it: Some light is reflected, Some light is absorbed, and Most of the light is emitted. This is called refraction. If we shine a ray of light at an angle, between 2 different media, the ray does NOT carry on in a straight line as we might expect.
