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.

When angle of incidence is equal to angle of refraction?
The second angle of incidence is equal to the angle of refractions.
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.
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....:)
Why does the incident angle not equal the angle of refraction?
i=incidence angle, r=angle of refraction Refractive index= sini/sinr Since for different materials value of refractive index is different hence both angles are not equal.
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
The angle of reflection is equal to the .......?
The angle of incidence
When angle of incidence is equal to angle of refraction?

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.
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.
What is the sine of angle of incidence divided by the sine of angle of refraction of equal optical density?
It is 1.

What is reflection in science terms?
♦ According to the law of reflection, the angle of reflection of a reflected wave is equal to its angle of incidence. Compare refraction
