Which is the definition of refraction?
The bending of a light wave as it passes at an angle from one medium to another
What is refraction mean in the terms of rainbows?
It means the bending of light.
What word means the ray 'bouncing off a surface'?
Refraction
What does refraction means in terms of rainbows?
Refraction of bending lightrefraction means the bending of light, and the refraction of light in a prism causes to 'split' light in all its colors (that we can see and not see)Refraction is the bending of light. The bending of light is defined mathematically by Snell's law. The degree of bending through rain drops produces the various colors of the rainbow.
Which part of a wave is the rarefaction?
Perhaps you are confusing with "refraction"? Refraction means that when a wave goes from one substance to another (for example, from air to water), it changes its direction. This is related with the index of refraction in the different substances, i.e., the wave has a different speed in the different substances.
What is the definition of critical angle?
The definition of critical angle is the angle of incidence that refraction can still occur.
When the mineral uvarovite has an index of refraction of 1.86. calculate the speed of light in this sample of uvarovite?
Use the definition of "index of refraction". In this case, you simply need to divide the speed of light in a vacuum by the index of refraction.
How does light bend through different media?
google the definition of refraction. thats how it bends.

Does the index of refraction equal the angle 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
What happens if the refraction angle is greater than ninety degrees?
This means no refraction occurs i.e. Total internal reflection (all light reflected) occurs
How does refraction change light?
