... INVESTIGATION: TO FIND THE REFRACTIVE INDEX OF COOKING OIL PREDICTION AND SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE Light travels in straight lines. However, refraction is the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another. Light refracts at all angles except 0 degrees. An example of refraction can be seen when you go swimming. If an object such as some swimming goggles is dropped in the water, they will appear to be in a different position to what they actually are. This is because the light changes direction at the surface, giving the illusion that the swimming goggles are closer than they actually are. The bending of the light, refraction, is caused by the light waves travelling slower. Either the density or the optical density of the object in which the light has to travel through causes this. Density is the mass of the object divided by its volume. However, optical density is related
