AI Generated Solution

To solve the question "Refraction of light is caused due to the change in the ____ of light in different mediums," we need to identify the correct term that describes the phenomenon of refraction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Refraction**: Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another. This change in medium affects the path of light. 2. **Identifying the Factors**: The key factor that changes when light moves between different mediums is its speed. Light travels at different speeds in different materials (for example, air, water, glass). ...
