In its most basic form, a lens is a piece of glass or plastic with curved surfaces. Lenses are used to bend rays of light by exploiting a physical phenomenon known as refraction. Light travels at different speeds in substances with different densities: it moves more quickly through air than glass or plastic, for example. Therefore, when light crosses the boundary between air and the glass of a lens, it slows down. If the light enters the lens at an angle, the decrease in speed will also cause the rays of light to change direction â this is refraction. To see why that happens, picture a bulldozer: if the tracks move more slowly on one side than the other the bulldozer will turn. Similarly, when a ray of light enters a lens at an angle the part that enters first slows down and so the path of the light is bent.   Creator Handbook: How Ridiculous uses determination to set world records and succeed on YouTube How Ridiculous uploaded their first video in 2009.
