Q: How do you think increasing a medium's index of refraction might affect the angle of refraction?
When a ray of light travels from one transparent medium into another medium, it bends while crossing the interface, separating the two media. This phenomenon is called refraction.
The bending of light rays as they ener a new medium is called refraction.
" The light is bent by refraction, caused by the medium through which it passes"
The change in direction is called refraction.
Q: How do you think increasing a medium's index of refraction might affect the angle of refraction?
c divided by the index of refraction of the medium = the speed of light in the medium.
Type your answer here... it is called as the refraction.
the refraction of light in water medium is 1.0003,glass 1.5,etc.
When a ray of light travels from one transparent medium into another medium, it bends while crossing the interface, separating the two media. This phenomenon is called refraction.
The bending of light rays as they ener a new medium is called refraction.
A medium with a higher index of refraction, like diamond, is more dense than the medium with a lower index of refraction, like air. If the ray of light is moving from the less dense medium (lower index of refraction), to a more dense (higher index of refraction) the ray of light bends TOWARDS the normal.

The change in direction is called refraction.
When light enters a different medium, the amount that the light is bent as it enters the medium is determined by the medium's index of..........=refraction
Reflection is a change of the angle of light without a change of medium. Refraction is a change of the angle of light with a change of medium.
