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
How is the speed of light affected as light passes at an angle from air to water?
Every substance has its own index of refraction. The index of refraction affects the speed of the light passing through it. Air has an index of refraction of about 1.00 whereas water has an index of refraction of about 1.33. a simple ratio formula can be used to determine the final speed of the light through the water. (Vi/Vf)=(Ni/Nf) where v is the speed of light and N is the index of refraction. The angle would also change. The path of the light would 'bend' toward the normal line which is an imaginary line that runs perpendicular to the line where the air meets the water. Equation to find angle is (N2/N1) = Sin(angle1)/Sin(angle2).
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).
When convexity of the lens is increased and light refraction does what?
The light refraction is decreased.
Is a light bulb an example of reflection or refraction?

How do you find the speed of light in jello using the angle of incidence and angle of refraction?
Use Snell's Law. Snell's Law is: Sin i divided by Sin r, where "i" is the angle of incidence and 'r" is the angle of refraction.
When is refraction used for in a play or how could you use refraction in a theatrical production?
Its used when the light is transmitted out of the light source.. Genius
The refractive index of water is 1.33 a ray is incident from water on air at an angle of incidence equal to 30 degree what is the angle of refraction in air?
nwater * sin 30=nair *sin(angle of refraction) 1.33*0.5=1*sin(angle of refraction) sin(angle of refractiob)=0.665 angle of refraction inair=41.6 degrees nwater * sin 30=nair *sin(angle of refraction) 1.33*0.5=1*sin(angle of refraction) sin(angle of refractiob)=0.665 angle of refraction inair=41.6 degrees
How do you calculate the angle of refraction?
The angle of refraction can be calculated using Snell's Law, which states that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction is equal to the ratio of the velocities of light in the two media. The formula is given as sin(theta1) / sin(theta2) = v1/v2, where theta1 and theta2 are the angles of incidence and refraction, and v1 and v2 are the velocities of light in the two media.

What is the index of refraction of a material if the angle of incidence in air is 50 degrees and the angle of refraction in the material is 40 degrees?
When a ray of light passes from material 1 to material 2: N1 sin θ1 = N2 sin θ2 where N1 & N2 are the refractive indices of the materials, and θ1 is the angle of incidence, θ2 the angle of refraction. From air to the material: N1 = 1.00, θ1 = 40°, θ2 = 50°, N2 = unknown, the index of refraction of the material: → 1.00 x sin 50° = N2 x sin 40° → N2 = 1.00 x sin 50° ÷ sin 40° → N2 ≈ 1.1917 (the index of refraction of the material)
State law of refraction?
