what is meant by refraction of light what are the laws of refraction
Answers
Answer:
ok
thank you
good day
Explanation:
refraction
Refraction is the change in the direction of a wave passing from one medium to another.”
Laws of refraction state that: The incident ray refracted ray, and the normal to the interface of two media at the point of incidence all lie on the same plane. The ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant. This is also known as Snell's law of refraction.
Answer:
the change in the direction of light at the boundary separating the two media when it passes from one transparent medium to another obliquely is called refraction of light.
- laws of refraction are as follows:
1) the incident ray, refracted ray and the normal to the interface of the two media at the point of incidence all lie on the same plane.
2) the ratio of the Sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant this is known as snell's law of refraction.
sin i/ sir r= n, whereby n is the refractive index of the denser medium.
