If refraction occurs during precipitation, it is possible that a rainbow will be visible after the storm. Rainbows are produced when the eye can actually see the bending of light rays that is not normally visible.

How do you think increasing a medium's index of refraction might affect the angle of refraction?

Increasing the medium's index of refraction will cause the angle of refraction to decrease. This is because light bends more towards the normal as it enters a medium with a higher index of refraction.


What happens during precipitation process?

Depending on near ground temperatures precipitation will be seen as rain or snow. If the winds aloft are strong enough, the precipitation could be sleet, or hail. You might want to visit a dictionary before asking questions such as this one. The in cloud situation is that water vapor condenses, usually on something in the cloud with it, such as dust particles. Once sufficient moisture has condensed it begins to fall as rain, or snow, typically.


Do animals use refraction?

In general, the process refraction only occurs in the eyes (as far as I know). So I assume you are asking how animals use refraction in their eyes, and by "refraction" you mean the refraction of light. In general, when light enters the eyes, it first enters the cornea of the eyes, which is then refracted into the pupil through the aqueous humor. The thickness and convexity of the lens control how the light is refracted into the eye. The light is focused on the retina which has rods and cone (photoreceptors/light sensors) which sends nerve impulses to the brain. Therefore, the animal is able to see. The parts of the eyes that does the refraction are the cornea, aqueous humor, lens, and the vitreous humor. You might want to surf the web for more details about this


Why is refraction important?

Well, for one thing, the formation of an image on the retina of your eye depends onrefraction of light by the cornea, the lens, and the fluids between them. In other words,without refraction, you might see light, but you could never see things.


What is the proper refraction for honey?

Honey refraction is a measure of moisture content. Generally, the best moisture content is 17-18%. Higher that 21% usually is unfit to sell. However, since different types of honey have different specifications, you might be able to accept a moisture content of 23% for clover honey. See related links to read about various refraction and moisture content information.

What three different amount of precipitation the northwest could have over time?

The northwest can experience a range of precipitation amounts over time, typically categorized as low, moderate, and high. Low precipitation might be around 10-20 inches annually, often seen in drier regions or during drought conditions. Moderate precipitation generally ranges from 30-50 inches, common in many coastal areas. High precipitation, exceeding 70 inches, is typically found in mountainous or heavily forested regions, especially during winter months when snowfall contributes significantly to totals.
