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.

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
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.
How do you think increasing a medium's index of refraction might affect the angle of refraction?
Increasing the medium's index of refraction will cause the angle of refraction to decrease. This is because light bends more towards the normal as it enters a medium with a higher index of refraction.
How does the angle of refraction change as the index of refraction of the bottom material increases?
As the index of refraction of the bottom material increases, the angle of refraction will decrease. This relationship is governed by Snell's Law, which states that the angle of refraction is inversely proportional to the index of refraction. Therefore, higher index of refraction causes light to bend less when entering a denser medium.
