Refraction and Reflection



The refraction is described by Snell's law, which is given by:


Where we have:
: are the angle of incidence and refraction respectively, note the two angles are always the same.
: are the velocities of the wave from medium 1 to medium 2
: are the refractive indices

The ratio of the refractive indices can be determined by:

From medium 1 to medium 2.
