Light has a DUAL nature. Sometimes, it behaves like a particle called PHOTON. Light’s particle-
like traits are best explained by the PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT, the theory that ALBERT
EINSTEIN won his Nobel Prize for1. Light also behaves like a wave, which explains how
it REFLECTS or how it bounces off an obstacle. This results in the formation of an IMAGE in a
mirrored surface. Light, like any wave, is known to undergo refraction when it passes from one
medium to another medium with different optical densities. A light wave will bend AWAY from
the normal when it passes from an optically denser to a less dense medium. On the other hand,
if it is moving from a less dense to a denser medium, the wavefront will bend TOWARDS the
normal.
