==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
[[Refraction]] is when a [[wave]] changes direction as it moves from one [[medium]] to another.
===About Refraction===
: [[Wave]]s travel in a straight line until they reach a new [[medium]]. If the [[wave]] can travel through the new [[medium]] it will change direction. This is called [[refraction]].
: [[Refraction]] can happen to all [[wave]]s.
===Refraction of Light===
: When [[light]] moves from one [[transparent]] [[material]] to another it '''refracts'''.
