The refractive index of water is 1.33 a ray is incident from water on air at an angle of incidence equal to 30 degree what is the angle of refraction in air?
nwater * sin 30=nair *sin(angle of refraction) 1.33*0.5=1*sin(angle of refraction) sin(angle of refractiob)=0.665 angle of refraction inair=41.6 degrees nwater * sin 30=nair *sin(angle of refraction) 1.33*0.5=1*sin(angle of refraction) sin(angle of refractiob)=0.665 angle of refraction inair=41.6 degrees
If the bending of light waves as they pass at an angle into a medium such as water is an example of?
Refraction
What process is termed When waves reach shallow water they are often bent and tend to become parallel to the shore?
refraction
Is a pencil in water refraction?
yes, if the pencil is in water, its refraction because when a wave enters a new medium, the waves speed changes and moves in a different angle. that's why a pencil looks broken in water
How would light pass through water?
It happens by the refraction of light.
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.

Suppose you drop a penny into a shallow pool of water you try to grab it nut cannot seem to get your fingers in the right place This happens because of?
Refraction of light in water.
Why does the water in a swimming pool look more shallow from the outside than when you step in?
This phenomenon occurs due to the refraction of light as it travels from the air into the water. When light enters the water at an angle, it changes speed and bends, causing objects beneath the water's surface to appear shifted and closer to the surface than they actually are. This refraction effect makes the water appear shallower when viewed from the outside.

Refraction
How Light passes through water?
It happens by the refraction of light.
What process is termed When waves reach shallow water they are often bent and tend to become parallel to the shore?
refraction
When there is no refraction of light and why does it happen?
There will be refraction when light passes from one substance to the other (for example, from air to water), when the two substances have different indices of refraction, and when light passes the surface at an angle. In other cases, there is no refraction.
Is a pencil in water refraction?
yes, if the pencil is in water, its refraction because when a wave enters a new medium, the waves speed changes and moves in a different angle. that's why a pencil looks broken in water
How would light pass through water?
It happens by the refraction of light.
What is the process called when deep water waves enter shallow water and the wave slows down and rotates toward being parallel with the shoreline?
refraction

describes the effect of water waves passing into shallow water?
