Refraction of Light

Physics

Not quite remember

I easily remember

Refraction of Light

Bending of a light ray at the boundary of two medium as the light ray propagates from a medium to another with difference optical density

The condition that causes the speed & direction of light to change

The speed & direction change when in different medium

The condition that causes light to be refracted towards normal

When light moves from less dense to denser medium

The condition that causes light to be refracted away from normal

When the light that moves from denser to less dense medium

Snell’s law

The value of (sin i) / (sin r) is constant for light passing from one given medium into another

The law of refraction

The incident, refracted rays and normal lie in the same plane

Refractive index, n

Absolute refractive index of a substance

Refractive index where light ray travels from the vacuum (or air) into the substance.

Refractive Index and the Speed of light

Refractive index, real depth (D) and apparent depth (d)
