Light travels in straight lines through transparent materials like air and water. However, when light passes from one material into another with a different density, it changes speed and direction. This change in direction is called refraction and allows for lenses and prisms to bend and focus light, enabling vision correction and the functioning of microscopes, telescopes, and fiber optics.
