How does refraction change light?
What is Refraction?? What is Refraction??
How do you measure the angle of refraction?
you measure the angel...tehn find the refraction
What is the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of of refraction known as?
The COEFFICIENT of Refraction.
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
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
How does the angle of incidence compare with the angle of refraction in each case?
A comparison of the angle of refraction to the angle of incidence provides a good measure of the refractive ability of any given boundary. For any given angle of incidence, the angle of refraction is dependent upon the speeds of light in each of the two materials. The speed is in turn dependent upon the optical density and the index of refraction values of the two materials. There is a mathematical equation relating the angles that the light rays make with the normal to the indices (plural for index) of refraction of the two materials on each side of the boundary. This mathematical equation is known as Snell's Law

What does light bend when it passes from air into glass?
refraction
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 do you called when the light bends as it enters a different medium the process is known as?
Refraction ~ look to related link below .
Is a key a reflection or a refraction?
refraction
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.
Which is better reflection or refraction?
Refraction is better.
What is a sentence for refraction?
Atomic refraction is very high.
Is a light bulb an example of reflection or refraction?
It is refraction
