Refraction is the deflection or bending of electromagnetic waves when they pass from one kind of transparent medium into another. The index of refraction is the ratio of the speed of electromagnetic energy in a vacuum to the speed of electromagnetic energy in the observed medium. The law of refraction states that electromagnetic waves passing from one medium into another (of a differing index of refraction) will be bent in their direction of travel
