Why no refraction occur when media have the same index of refraction?
When two media have the same index of refraction, it means that light travels at the same speed through both media, so there is no change in speed or direction of the light at the boundary between them. This results in no refraction occurring as there is no bending of the light rays.
Why does no refraction occur when the media have the same index of refaction?
When two media have the same index of refraction, it means that light travels at the same speed in both media. As a result, there is no change in speed or direction at the interface between the two media, leading to no refraction occurring.
Why does no refraction occurs when the media have the same index of refraction?
Reflection happens only at the interface between two media, and two media with the same index of refraction act as if they were a single medium. Thus, at the interface between media with the same index of refraction, there is no reflection, and the ray keeps going straight. Continuing this line of thought, it is not surprising that we observe very little reflection at an interface between media with similar indices of refraction.

Is the law of refraction the same for light rays going in either direction between the two media?
Yes. The laws of refraction are laws of physics and as such remain constant, as long as the space between the media is constant.
One difference between reflection and refaction of light waves is the?
In reflection, the light waves travel within the same media and maintains the same speed but in refraction light waves travel through a different media and so their speed changes.
What is the name for bending light?
Refraction or Refraction of light is the scientific name for the bending of light. Same Thing.
What causes refraction-?
Refraction occurs when light enters a medium with a different optical density, causing the light waves to change speed and bend. This bending of light is due to a change in the angle at which the light waves propagate.
When light moves from one medium to another it bendshowever there is one exception to this 'rule'?
it will not bend if the two media have the same index of refraction.
Bending of light when it changes media is called?
Refraction
The bouncing of light when it changes media is called?
The bouncing of light when it changes media is called refraction. Refraction occurs when light waves pass from one transparent medium to another, causing a change in the speed and direction of the light waves.
Is light the same as refraction?
No. Light is energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Refraction is a physical process that affects any wave.
