Refraction Flashcards
1
Q
What is refraction?
A
bending of light that occurs when light is transmitted through materials of different densities, (light speeds up or slows down)
2
Q
What is the angle of refraction?
A
angle at which a ray of light travels after it has passed from one material to another, between the normal line and refracted ray.
3
Q
What is density?
A
how tightly packed the particles are in a substance, (more particles = higher density)
