What is the refraction of light in different medium?
the refraction of light in water medium is 1.0003,glass 1.5,etc.
When light passes from a medium with a high index of refraction into a medium with a lower index of refraction which direction does the light bend?
A medium with a higher index of refraction, like diamond, is more dense than the medium with a lower index of refraction, like air. If the ray of light is moving from the less dense medium (lower index of refraction), to a more dense (higher index of refraction) the ray of light bends TOWARDS the normal.
If the index of refraction of a medium is 1.4 determine the speed of light in that medium?
Speed of light in air (which has an index of refraction of 1) is 3 * 10^8 m/s. So divide the speed of light by the index of refraction of the new medium to obtain the speed of light in that medium. Hope I helped!!
How is the index of refraction of s medium related to the speed of light inThe medium?
The index of refraction of a substance is(The speed of light in vacuum) divided by (the speed of light in the substance) .
When light waves enter a new medium and bend what occurs?
When light enters a different medium, the amount that the light is bent as it enters the medium is determined by the medium's index of refraction.
How is the index of refraction of a medium related to the speed light of in the medium?
c divided by the index of refraction of the medium = the speed of light in the medium.
What is the refraction of light in different medium?

When light enters a different medium the amount that the light is bent as it enters the medium is determind by the medium's index of?
When light enters a different medium, the amount that the light is bent as it enters the medium is determined by the medium's index of..........=refraction

What is the meaning of reflection and refraction?
Reflection is a change of the angle of light without a change of medium. Refraction is a change of the angle of light with a change of medium.
How is the index of refraction of s medium related to the speed of light inThe medium?
The index of refraction of a substance is(The speed of light in vacuum) divided by (the speed of light in the substance) .
BENDING of light rays when they enter it diffirent medium is known as?
Refraction is the bending of light waves as they pass from one medium to another.
When light waves enter a new medium and bend what occurs?
When light enters a different medium, the amount that the light is bent as it enters the medium is determined by the medium's index of refraction.
Can you give me an example of a sentence using the word refraction and medium?
" The light is bent by refraction, caused by the medium through which it passes"
What is the bending of light from one medium to another?
It is called refraction, but some material bounces off the light and it is called reflection.
How is the index of refraction of a substance related to the speed of light in the substance?
The substance's index of refraction isSpeed of light in vacuum / Speed of light in the substance
