Q

Refraction

A

The bending of light as it passes from one substance to another substance

Refractive index

A

A measure of how easily light travels through a substance

18
Q

Regular reflection

A

19
Q

Total internal reflection

A

When light is completely reflected from the boundary of two substance; it occurs when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle

20
Q

Virtual image

A

An image formed in which the rays of light do not actually meet, but only appear to meet at a point inside the mirror
