What will lowering the pH of a medium do to the angle of refraction of light?

The pH has an influence on the refractive index; I suppose that the relation is different for each solution.

Lowering the pH of a medium, such as a liquid, will not have a direct effect on the angle of refraction of light. The angle of refraction of light is primarily determined by the refractive index of the medium, which is not inherently influenced by pH changes. However, extreme changes in pH may induce changes in the optical properties of the medium, potentially leading to alterations in the refraction of light.

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.
Why the ray of light does not bend when it passes perpendicularly from rarer medium to denser medium?
Since the angle of incidence is 0, there is no chance of refraction and so the angle of refraction too becomes 0.
If the bending of light waves as they pass at an angle into a medium such as water is an example of?
Refraction
When light is traveling along the normal will its direction change?
This is total internal reflection where the angle of refraction is 90 degrees and its incident angle would be the critical angle(angle of incident for which the angle of refraction is 90).... This hapens when the angle of incidence is in a medium more dense than the angle of refraction's medium
What is total internal refraction?
When the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle,the light ray reflects into denser medium at interface. This is total internal refraction

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

Is the angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction when light passes from a less dense to denser medium?
If you meant optical density by the term 'denser ' Then the answer is.... The light bends towards normal when it travels from a optically less dense medium to optically dense medium. So angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
What is total internal refraction?
When the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle,the light ray reflects into denser medium at interface. This is total internal refraction
Which is the definition of refraction?
The bending of a light wave as it passes at an angle from one medium to another
State the relationship between the amount of bending and the index of refraction as light passes from an optically less dense medium to an optically denser one?
The amount of bending that a light ray experiences can be expressed in terms of the angle of refraction (more accurately, by the difference between the angle of refraction and the angle of incidence). A ray of light may approach the boundary at an angle of incidence of 45-degrees and bend towards the normal. If the medium into which it enters causes a small amount of refraction, then the angle of refraction might be a value of about 42-degrees. On the other hand if the medium into which the light enters causes a large amount of refraction, the angle of refraction might be 22-degrees. (These values are merely arbitrarily chosen values to illustrate a point.) The diagram below depicts a ray of light approaching three different boundaries at an angle of incidence of 45-degrees. The refractive medium is different in each case, causing different amounts of refraction.
What will happen to the angle of refraction if the angle of incidence is made smaller for light passing from rarer to denser medium and how?
angle of refraction will also decrease as according to laws of refractio sin i/sin r= constant (CONSTANT IS THE REFRACTIVE INDEX OF THE MEDIUM).
If light waves change speed as they pass from one medium into another at an angle the light will be?
Refracting
What are characteristics of refraction?
1. When a ray of light travels obliquely from an optically rarer medium to an optically denser medium,it bends towards the normal at the point of incidence. in this case,angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction...
