Figure 1
When light crosses from one material to another, its straight line path will bend by an amount determined by the speed of light in both materials. This “bending” of light is called refraction. The interface between two materials also causes reflection of light. See Figure 1. The law of reflection states that the incident angle θi is equal to the reflected angle θr :
$$\theta_r = \theta_i$$ (1)
The law of refraction, referred to as Snell’s Law, states the following relationship between the incident angle θi and the refracted (transmitted) angle θt:
$$n_i sin\theta_i = n_t sin\theta_t$$ (2)
The parameter n represents the index of refraction, defined as the ratio of speed of light in a vacuum, c, to the speed of light in the material, v.
$$n = \frac{c}{v}$$ (3)
For example, the index of refraction for air is 1.00, for pure water 1.33 and for
