Light rays and convex prism. As light rays pass between transparent materials of different densities, they will bend (be refracted) at the boundary. Here, the light rays are passing between air and a glass or plastic prism. The degree of refraction depends on the properties of the glass or plastic, and on the shape of the prism.
