Why is it necessary for the angle of refraction to be equal to the angle of incidence when the angle of incidence is zero?
when the angle of refraction is zero you still need an angle of incidence because it still reflects back.
The relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction is known as law?
Snell's Law states that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction is equal.
How do you compare the angle of incidence and the angle refraction?
The angles of light are the result of the law of sines: sine( incidence angle)/speed of incidence = sine(refraction angle)/ speed of refraction
Why is the ratio of angle of incidence to the angle of refraction is equal to constant?
Snell's law stipulates that the ratio of the sines as regards the angles of incidence in addition to that of refraction is a constant influenced by the media.
Is there a difference between reflection and scattering?
in reflection, angle of incidence is equal to angle of refraction.... where as in scattering, there is no such law....:)
The angle of reflection is equal to the .......?
The angle of incidence
Why is it necessary for the angle of refraction to be equal to the angle of incidence when the angle of incidence is zero?
when the angle of refraction is zero you still need an angle of incidence because it still reflects back.
Does the angle of incidence always equal the angle of refraction?
Usually not.
The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of refraction?
The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of REFLECTION. Refraction is an entirely different phenomenon and has its own law.
What are the laws of refraction?
angle of incidence of a wave hitting a surface equal the eagle 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

What is the sine of angle of incidence divided by the sine of angle of refraction of equal optical density?
It is 1.
Does doubling the angle of incidence cause the angle of refraction to double?
No, doubling the angle of incidence itself will not cause a doubling of the angle of refraction.
Is there a difference between reflection and scattering?
in reflection, angle of incidence is equal to angle of refraction.... where as in scattering, there is no such law....:)
