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.
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.
Is the angle of refraction the same as 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.

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

Angle of refraction will be less compared to the angle of incidence in this case.
What are the terms related to refraction of light?
terms realated to refraction of light are * interface * incident ray * refracted ray * point of incidence *normal *angle of incidence * angle of refraction *angle of deviation
Is refraction angle equal to the angle of reflection?
No.
Is the angle of refraction the same as the angle of reflection?
No.
How do you measure the angle of refracted light wave?
The angle of a refracted light wave is typically measured with respect to the normal, which is an imaginary line perpendicular to the boundary between two mediums. This angle is known as the angle of refraction and can be determined using Snell's Law, which relates the angles of incidence and refraction to the refractive indices of the two mediums.
A light ray goes from air into acrylic block is the angle of refraction larger or the angle of incidence?
The angle of refraction is larger. BOOBIES
How does the angle of incidence compared with the angle of refraction for sound?
For refraction, the general relationship is given by Snell's Law.
