Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the key concept in the problem: the bending of light as it passes through substances of different densities.
Understand that this phenomenon is related to the behavior of light when it encounters a boundary between two different media.
Recall the term that describes the bending of light due to a change in speed as it moves from one medium to another.
Differentiate between similar terms: 'reflection' refers to light bouncing off a surface, while 'refraction' involves bending due to a change in medium.
Conclude that the correct term for the bending of light as it passes through substances of different densities is 'refraction'.
