If angle of incidence equals critical angle what is angle of refraction?
90o. i think there will be no refraction there will be totally internal reflection
How does the index of refraction affect the critical angle?
k
What is total internal refraction?
When the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle,the light ray reflects into denser medium at interface. This is total internal refraction
How do you calculate angle of refraction?
By finding ur mom's weight
What is the critical angel?
The critical angel is the angle of incidence that yields an angel of refraction that is larger than the angels of incidence.
What is the definition of critical angle?
The definition of critical angle is the angle of incidence that refraction can still occur.

Define critical angle?
critical angle is defined as angle of incidence provide an anlge of refraction of 90 degree

What is total internal refraction?
When the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle,the light ray reflects into denser medium at interface. This is total internal refraction
At what angle does no refraction occur?
this angle is called the critical angle of a substance. To work it out you must know the refractive index of that substance.

Why critical angle is depend on wavelength used?
The behaviour of electromagnetic waves of depends on their wavelengths. As a result the critical angle for refraction changes according to the wavelength.
What is the critical angel?
The critical angel is the angle of incidence that yields an angel of refraction that is larger than the angels of incidence.
When light is traveling along the normal will its direction change?
This is total internal reflection where the angle of refraction is 90 degrees and its incident angle would be the critical angle(angle of incident for which the angle of refraction is 90).... This hapens when the angle of incidence is in a medium more dense than the angle of refraction's medium
What tajes place when the angle of incidence is smaller than the critical angle?
Refraction and partial internal reflection occurs
How angle of incidence affect refractive index of a material?
The angle of refraction is the angle between the refracted ray and the normal (a perpindicular line to the tangent and the plane of the surface). A ray that enters at the normal angle leaves at the normal angle; there is no angle between the ray and the normal, so it is 0o.
