The COEFFICIENT of Refraction.
Not exactly, the angle of refraction = the angle of incidence, which means the ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is constant for two media. That is sin i /sin r = constant , and this constant is called refractive index
No, doubling the angle of incidence itself will not cause a doubling of the angle of refraction.
No.
No.
The angle if refraction also increases.
The COEFFICIENT of Refraction.
The angles of light are the result of the law of sines: sine( incidence angle)/speed of incidence = sine(refraction angle)/ speed of refraction
Not exactly, the angle of refraction = the angle of incidence, which means the ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is constant for two media. That is sin i /sin r = constant , and this constant is called refractive index

No, doubling the angle of incidence itself will not cause a doubling of the angle of refraction.
More curved surfaces will change the angle of refraction when compared to a less curved surface, independent of the angle of the light source.
Q: How do you think increasing a medium's index of refraction might affect the angle of refraction?
90o. i think there will be no refraction there will be totally internal reflection
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.
No.
No.
