What is refraction of line?
Refraction of line
Answers
Answer:
When the light travels from one medium to another medium, due to the change of speed of light in both mediums, the light travels obliquely which is known as refraction of light.
Explanation:
Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. This refraction is due to the velocity of light through air, decreasing (the refractive index increases) with increased density.
Answer:
Explanation:
This change of direction is called refraction. When light enters a more dense substance (higher refractive index), it 'bends' more towards the normal line. The amount of bending depends on two things: Change in speed – if a substance causes the light to speed up or slow down more, it will refract (bend) more.
