The angle of incidence is always greater than the angle of refraction.
The refractive index of glass is greater than that of air, so the speed of light in air is more than the speed of light in glass. Therefore it slows down and bends towards the normal.
The critical angle depends on the index of refraction of the two substances, in this case, air and glass. The angle can be calculated by Snell's Law. It won't always be exactly 39.3°, since different glasses have different indices of refraction.
REFLECTION... (this is the right answer for: A ray of light strikes a flat surface of water. The angle that the reflected light ray makes with the normal is called the angle of? )if not incident ray.
Light can both go through and reflect off of glass. When light passes through glass, it is transmitting through the material. However, if the angle of incidence is steep, light can reflect off the surface of the glass.
Violet light is refracted through the largest angle when white light passes through a glass prism because it has the shortest wavelength of all the colors in the visible spectrum.
The light wave will refract (bend) as it passes from the glass to the air. This is because the speed of light changes when it enters a medium of different optical density, causing the path of the light wave to bend at an angle. The bending occurs due to the change in the velocity of light in the two mediums, causing it to deviate from the normal.
same problem dude..

yes light changes its direction when it passes form air to glass due to refraction of light coz air has less density n glass is a solid so it has more density due to that when light goes form air to glass then its speed decreases n its always bends towords the normal. but if light will go perpendicularly form air to glass then it will not change its direction.

Yes, there is a critical angle for light transitioning from glass to water. The critical angle occurs when light moves from a medium with a higher refractive index (glass) to one with a lower refractive index (water). If the angle of incidence exceeds this critical angle, total internal reflection occurs, meaning no light passes into the water. The critical angle can be calculated using Snell's Law.
The angle of refraction in the glass is likely to be less than 45 degrees since light bends towards the normal when it passes from a less dense medium (air) to a denser medium (glass). The exact angle of refraction can be calculated using Snell's Law: n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂, where n₁ and n₂ are the refractive indices of air and glass, respectively.
Angle of incidence has to be 0. This means that the ray has to hit normally on the surface of separation of two media
Light can both go through and reflect off of glass. When light passes through glass, it is transmitting through the material. However, if the angle of incidence is steep, light can reflect off the surface of the glass.
The lateral displacement (D) of an incident ray passing through a glass slab can be calculated using the formula D = t * sin(i - r), where t is the thickness of the glass slab, i is the angle of incidence, and r is the angle of refraction. This formula takes into account the deviation of the ray as it passes through the glass slab.
Violet light is refracted through the largest angle when white light passes through a glass prism because it has the shortest wavelength of all the colors in the visible spectrum.
A magnifying glass works by bending the light that passes through it, causing the light rays to converge and creating a larger image of the object. This magnified image is then projected onto the retina, making the object appear bigger to the observer.
The light wave will refract (bend) as it passes from the glass to the air. This is because the speed of light changes when it enters a medium of different optical density, causing the path of the light wave to bend at an angle. The bending occurs due to the change in the velocity of light in the two mediums, causing it to deviate from the normal.
