refraction
Other names: ๅฑๆ
The bending of light as it passes through a transparent medium like water or glass. Refraction is what makes a straight stick look bent underwater, and what makes everything look fisheyed through curved glass.
Ripples of light caused by this effect underwater or at the bottom of a pool are called caustics.
