What is the angle between refracted ray and the normal?
Angle of refraction
The angle of refraction is measured between the refracted ray and what other line?
The normal
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
Why perpendicular light rays don't refrect through a medium?
As it is parallel to the normal to the surface, the angle of incidence is zero and hence the angle of refraction also has to be zero. Hence no deviation and no refraction.
When measuring the angle of incidence and angle refraction the imaginary line drawn perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence is called the?
normal.
What is the angle between refracted ray and the normal?
Angle of refraction
What is the angle of refraction?
the angle between the refracted ray and the normal
How does the angle of refraction compare to the angle of incidence measured from the normal when going from air to water?
Angle of refraction will be less compared to the angle of incidence in this case.
Angle an incoming wave makes with the normal equals angle the reflected wave makes with the normal?
Refraction
What are the terms related to refraction of light?
terms realated to refraction of light are * interface * incident ray * refracted ray * point of incidence *normal *angle of incidence * angle of refraction *angle of deviation
The angle of refraction is measured between the refracted ray and what other line?
The normal
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.
If a beam of light strikes a diamond at an angle of 45 degrees what is the angle of refraction?
17° to the normal.
