Who's formulated the Snell's law

Answer 1

it states that the ratio of sine of angle of incidence/sine of angle of refraction=constant, for the light of given color and given pair of medium.

where n1 and n2 are the indices of refraction of light in different materials.

Answer 2

Snell's law is defined by the relation n1 * sin(a1) = n2 * sin(a2) where n is the index of refraction of the material and a is the angle. Different mediums have different indices of refraction and therefore bend light at different angles.

Answer 3

Snell's Law was formulated by Dutch scientist Willebrord Snellius (also written as Snell) in the early 17th century. It describes the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction when light passes through different mediums.

Answer 4

Snell's law was formulated and named after astronomer Willebrord Snellius. That said, the scientist Ibn Sahl was the first to accurately describe the law.

Answer 5

the ratio of the incident angle to the sine of the rafracted angle is constant

Answer 6

Snell's law was discovered by Thomas Harriot in 1602.
