OPTICAL FIBRES:allow keyhole surgery(surgery without large incisions)

REFRACTION: the speed of light changes with the density of the material it enters!This change in speed may cause a change in direction..this is known as refraction.

LIGHT IS REFLECTED AT THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE MATERIAL AND THE AIR..THIS IS KNOWN AS TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION.
