Snell’s Law of Refraction

Question 1

behavior of light wherein its speed and direction of propagation changes as it goes from one medium to another

Answer 1

refraction

Question 2

quantifies the speed of light in a material in relation to its speed in vacuum

Answer 2

index of refraction (n)/refractive index

Question 3

formula for refractive index

Answer 3

n = c/v

Question 4

Snell’s Law of Refraction Formula

Answer 4

n_1 sinθ_1 = n_2 sinθ_2

Question 5

when a light ray travels into a medium of higher index of refraction, it bends towards the normal but, when it travels into a medium of lower index of refraction, it bends away from the normal

Answer 5

Snell’s Law of Refraction Formula
