Both can be calculated easily using Snell's Law, which you can find easily online. However to use Snell's law you will need one of the angle of incidence or refraction as well as the refractive index of the media the light ray passes through

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.
The angle of reflection is equal to the .......?
The angle of incidence
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.
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

How do you compare the angle of incidence and the angle refraction?
The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the surface, while the angle of refraction is the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the surface. These angles are related by Snell's Law, which states that the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is equal to the ratio of the refractive indices of the two media the light is traveling through.
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.
When the angle of refraction is 20 what is the angle of incidence?
40
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
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
The relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction is known as law?
Snell's Law describes the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction for light passing through different mediums. It states that the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is constant for a given pair of media.
Does the angle of incidence always equal the angle of refraction?
Usually not.
Why is the angle of incidence greater than the angle of refraction based on the magic pencil activity?
The angle of incidence is greater.
