Not exactly, the angle of refraction = the angle of incidence, which means the ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is constant for two media.
That is sin i /sin r = constant , and this constant is called refractive index

Is refraction angle equal to the angle of reflection?
No.
Does the angle of incidence always equal the angle of refraction?
Usually not.
The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of refraction?
The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of REFLECTION. Refraction is an entirely different phenomenon and has its own law.
The angle of reflection is equal to the .......?
The angle of incidence
How do you work out angle of refraction with refractive index?
You can use Snell's Law. Note that you need two angles for this - the incoming angle, and the outgoing angle.
Why does the incident angle not equal the angle of refraction?
i=incidence angle, r=angle of refraction Refractive index= sini/sinr Since for different materials value of refractive index is different hence both angles are not equal.
How do you think increasing a medium's index of refraction might affect the angle of refraction?
Q: How do you think increasing a medium's index of refraction might affect the angle of refraction?
What will happen when two different medium of same refractive index?
The angle of incidence will equal the angle of refraction. If two medium have the same refractive index, light does not bend.
How does the index of refraction affect the critical angle?

Is refraction angle equal to the angle of reflection?
No.
What is the bending of light rays as it passes from one material into another?
Index Of Refraction
How is the index of refraction of a substance related to the speed of light in the substance?
The substance's index of refraction isSpeed of light in vacuum / Speed of light in the substance
When angle of incidence is equal to angle of refraction?
The second angle of incidence is equal to the angle of refractions.
What is the angle or refraction when the angle of incidence is 40degrees?
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.
How angle of incidence affect refractive index of a material?
The angle of refraction is the angle between the refracted ray and the normal (a perpindicular line to the tangent and the plane of the surface). A ray that enters at the normal angle leaves at the normal angle; there is no angle between the ray and the normal, so it is 0o.
Does the angle of incidence always equal the angle of refraction?
Usually not.
