What is the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of of refraction known as?
The COEFFICIENT of Refraction.
Does the index of refraction equal the angle of refraction?
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
Does doubling the angle of incidence cause the angle of refraction to double?
No, doubling the angle of incidence itself will not cause a doubling of the angle of refraction.
Is the angle of refraction the same as the angle of reflection?
No.
Is refraction angle equal to the angle of reflection?
No.
If the angle of incidence increases and the indexes of refraction stay the same what happens to the angle of refraction?
The angle if refraction also increases.
What is the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of of refraction known as?
The COEFFICIENT of Refraction.
How do you compare the angle of incidence and the angle refraction?
The angles of light are the result of the law of sines: sine( incidence angle)/speed of incidence = sine(refraction angle)/ speed of refraction
Does the index of refraction equal the angle of refraction?
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
The refractive index of water is 1.33 a ray is incident from water on air at an angle of incidence equal to 30 degree what is the angle of refraction in air?
nwater * sin 30=nair *sin(angle of refraction) 1.33*0.5=1*sin(angle of refraction) sin(angle of refractiob)=0.665 angle of refraction inair=41.6 degrees nwater * sin 30=nair *sin(angle of refraction) 1.33*0.5=1*sin(angle of refraction) sin(angle of refractiob)=0.665 angle of refraction inair=41.6 degrees
Does doubling the angle of incidence cause the angle of refraction to double?
No, doubling the angle of incidence itself will not cause a doubling of the angle of refraction.
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?
If angle of incidence equals critical angle what is angle of refraction?
90o. i think there will be no refraction there will be totally internal reflection
How does the angle of incidence compare with the angle of refraction in each case?
A comparison of the angle of refraction to the angle of incidence provides a good measure of the refractive ability of any given boundary. For any given angle of incidence, the angle of refraction is dependent upon the speeds of light in each of the two materials. The speed is in turn dependent upon the optical density and the index of refraction values of the two materials. There is a mathematical equation relating the angles that the light rays make with the normal to the indices (plural for index) of refraction of the two materials on each side of the boundary. This mathematical equation is known as Snell's Law
Is the angle of refraction the same as the angle of reflection?
No.
Is refraction angle equal to the angle of reflection?
No.
How does the angle of refraction compare to the angle of incidence measured from the normal when going from air to water?
Angle of refraction will be less compared to the angle of incidence in this case.
