When a wave enters a denser medium from a rarer medium, its speed decreases and wavelength decreases, while frequency does not change. Light entering water from air experiences refraction, unless the incident ray is perpendicular to the medium, in which case refraction does not occur. When the incident angle is greater than the critical angle, total internal reflection occurs. The glitter of diamonds is due to multiple internal reflections and refractions within the diamond. The angle of refraction depends on the refractive index of the material. Mirages can occur on roads due to the deformation of light rays, and the sun can be visible even when below the horizon due to refraction in the atmosphere.
