The angles of light are the result of the law of sines:
sine( incidence angle)/speed of incidence = sine(refraction angle)/ speed of refraction
Snell's Law describes the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction for light passing through different mediums. It states that the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is constant for a given pair of media.
A comparison of the angle of refraction to the angle of incidence provides a good measure of the refractive ability of any given boundary. For any given angle of incidence, the angle of refraction is dependent upon the speeds of light in each of the two materials. The speed is in turn dependent upon the optical density and the index of refraction values of the two materials. There is a mathematical equation relating the angles that the light rays make with the normal to the indices (plural for index) of refraction of the two materials on each side of the boundary. This mathematical equation is known as Snell's Law
No, the angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal line, while the angle of refraction is the angle between the refracted ray and the normal line. In general, these angles are not the same, except in the case of normal incidence where they are both zero.
When the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of refraction, it means that the light is traveling from one medium to another with the same refractive index. This condition is known as the critical angle, and beyond this point, total internal reflection occurs.
When light waves refract from a faster medium to a slower medium, the angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction. This is known as Snell's Law, which describes the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction when light passes through different mediums.
Angle of refraction will be less compared to the angle of incidence in this case.
same problem dude..
No, doubling the angle of incidence itself will not cause a doubling of the angle of refraction.
The angle of incidence
The COEFFICIENT of Refraction.

The angle if refraction also increases.
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
terms realated to refraction of light are * interface * incident ray * refracted ray * point of incidence *normal *angle of incidence * angle of refraction *angle of deviation
No, the angle of incidence and angle of refraction are not directly proportional. They are related through Snell's Law, which states that the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is equal to the ratio of the velocities of light in the two mediums.

Usually not.
