Explanation / Answer
Refraction occurs according to snell’s law
I,e. A ray of light strikes a surface separating two different mediums. A light ray reflected of the surface travels at an angle that's equal to the angle of the incident light ray; a light ray that passes through the surface and is refracted travels at an angle that's different than the angle of the incident light ray.
