Well, it wasn't invented, but it was first measured by Ernst Abbe.

Why can the refracted ray can also be the incident ray?
It only happens when the incident ray is shone at 90 degrees. The refracted ray will then travel along the same path as the incident ray. This is known as total internal refraction.
What is the angle between refracted ray and the normal?
Angle of refraction
What is internal refraction?
internal refraction is when the ray of light is refracted, for example in a glass or plastic semicircle, and it's refracted inside the semicircle, notoutside.
How incident ray are refracted by a convex mirror?
A mirror does not refract light, it REFLECTS it.
What will happen when a ray light is on a glass block?
Some will be reflected, and what goes through will be refracted.

Why a ray is refracted at the interface between two medium?
ummm.......
What is refractive angle?
the angle between the refracted ray and the normal
What is the angle between refracted ray and the normal?
Angle of refraction
What is the angle of refraction?
the angle between the refracted ray and the normal
What is the correct definition of the angle of deviation?
it is the angle between the direction of the incident ray and the refracted ray.
Is the angle between the incident ray and the refracted ray a constant for a given pair of media?
Yeah or yeha
What is internal refraction?
internal refraction is when the ray of light is refracted, for example in a glass or plastic semicircle, and it's refracted inside the semicircle, notoutside.
What is a 'refracted ray'?
It splits in differents colors according to their different wave length. An example of refracted light is a rainbow. The ray is split in 7 colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
What is a copy of an object formed by reflection refracted ray of light?
Virtual Image
How incident ray are refracted by a convex mirror?
A mirror does not refract light, it REFLECTS it.
What does the term angle of deviation mean in reference to light?
the angle the theoretical incident ray makes with the final refracted ray
