Answer:

Snell's law (also known as Snell–Descartes law and the law of refraction) is a formula used to describe the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction, when referring to light or other waves passing through a boundary between two different isotropic media, such as water, glass, or air.

Snell's Law state that the sine of angle of Incidence is equal to the sine of angle of refraction is always constant for a light of given colour and a pair of given media.

Sin i/Sin r = constant.

Where constant is called as refractive Index.

About equation:

n1sinθ1 = n2sinθ2

Explaining the equation: Snell's law of refraction at the interface between 2 isotropic media is given by the equation: n1sinθ1 = n2sinθ2 where θ1 is the angle of incidence and θ2 the angle of refraction. n1 is the refractive index of the optical medium in front of the interface and n2 is the refractive index.

Hope it helped you out!

Answer:

Snell’s law, in optics, a relationship between the path taken by a ray of light in crossing the boundary or surface of separation between two contacting substances and the refractive index of each. This law was discovered in 1621 by the Dutch astronomer and mathematician Willebrord Snell (also called Snellius). The account of Snell’s law went unpublished until its mention by Christiaan Huygens in his treatise on light. In the Figure, n1 and n2 represent the indices of refraction for the two media, and α1 and α2 are the angles of incidence and refraction that the ray R makes with the normal (perpendicular) line NN at the boundary. Snell’s law asserts that n1/n2 = sin α2/sin α1.
