Hello Oliviak1,
Welcome to Science Buddies!

Are you doing a science project on light refraction? If so, it would help the experts to help you if you told us more about your project. For example, what is your hypothesis? How do you intend to conduct your experiment?

Please note that "Ask the Expert" is for students in grades K-12 doing science projects. If you are not doing a science project, you should look for other forums on the internet to get an answer to your question.

Thank you.
