How is the refractive index of glass is to water is related with that of air is to water?
Each substance has an index of refraction. The index of refraction of water is about 1.3330 . The index of refraction of air at standard conditions is about 1.0003 . There is no such thing as the index of refraction of "water to air".
How do you explain that the pencil appears broken in the glass of water?
A ray of light changes direction when it gets out of the water, and into the air. This is called "refraction".A ray of light changes direction when it gets out of the water, and into the air.

What has to be different to allow refraction to occur?
The density. Refraction occurs at the boundary between two media of differing densities, such as air and water.
When light rays travel from air to water what is the effect known as?
refraction
Refraction makes a ruler in a cup of warter look broken?
Refraction makes a ruler in a cup of water look broken because of the light rays bend when they move from water to air or air to water...
What does light bend when it passes from air into glass?
refraction

What is the index of refraction for air?
Approximately 1
A mirage is a result of atmospheric?
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.
What is the ray diagram of light refraction in air and glass?
A prism

A light ray goes from air into acrylic block is the angle of refraction larger or the angle of incidence?
The angle of refraction is larger. BOOBIES

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
