Refraction occurs when a wave bends as it crosses the boundary between different mediums (eg. air to glass). The wave bends because waves travel at different speeds in different mediums.
When a wave enters a more dense medium (eg. air to glass), the wave slows down, and bends towards the 'normal'.
When a wave enters a less dense medium (eg. glass to air), the wave speeds up, and bends away from the 'normal'.
* The normal is an imaginary line which is perpendicular to where the light is entering the new medium.
When light enters a glass block, it undergoes reflection and refraction. However at the glass air interface, refraction occurs to a larger extent than refraction and hence some of the light is reflected while the rest of it enters the glass block.
Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another having different optical densities.
The density. Refraction occurs at the boundary between two media of differing densities, such as air and water.
Refraction.
Reflection happens only at the interface between two media, and two media with the same index of refraction act as if they were a single medium. Thus, at the interface between media with the same index of refraction, there is no reflection, and the ray keeps going straight. Continuing this line of thought, it is not surprising that we observe very little reflection at an interface between media with similar indices of refraction.
This means no refraction occurs i.e. Total internal reflection (all light reflected) occurs
When light enters a glass block, it undergoes reflection and refraction. However at the glass air interface, refraction occurs to a larger extent than refraction and hence some of the light is reflected while the rest of it enters the glass block.
Refraction occurs for any waves, where there's a change in the medium.
Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another having different optical densities.
The angle if refraction also increases.
That depends on the substances where the refraction occurs. The relationship between the angles, and the index of refraction of both materials, is given by Snell's Law.
When light travels at right angles into a transparent object (i.e. angle of incidence is zero), no refraction occurs.
The density. Refraction occurs at the boundary between two media of differing densities, such as air and water.
