How is refraction different from refraction?

both follow quite much the same laws .....bt after following d laws if it comes outtof d other side its refraction if it comes out frm d same surface frm wer it entered its reflection.


What are the laws of refraction of light?

laws of refraction are as follows:=1) the incident ray, refracte dray and the normal at the point of incidence all lie on the same plane.==2) the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is a constant.this is also called the snell's law.=


Transmission by a lens is best explained by what theory?

Snell's laws 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.

What is it called when a wave goes from one medium to another and it changes speed and direction?

The change in direction is called refraction.


The bending of waves due to a change in speed is?

It is Refraction


What will happen to the angle of refraction if the angle of incidence is made smaller for light passing from rarer to denser medium and how?

angle of refraction will also decrease as according to laws of refractio sin i/sin r= constant (CONSTANT IS THE REFRACTIVE INDEX OF THE MEDIUM).


What do you called when the light bends as it enters a different medium the process is known as?

Refraction ~ look to related link below .
