Properties of light
- refraction
- Refraction occurs because light
bends through a lens. A lens is a
piece of transparent material. It
is usually made of glass and has
at least one curved surface.The
curved surface of a lens bends
the light.This might cause white
light into colours (rainbow).

- Diffraction occurs when
light bends around an
obstacle or spreads
through an opening
