Use the angle of incidence and angle of reflection to calculate the refractive index. Explain how refractive index can be used to calculate the speed of light in a material. Refraction Refraction occurs when a wave enters (or exits) a medium with a different density to that of the medium it is in. This speeds up / slows down the wave.

Use the angle of incidence and angle of reflection to calculate the refractive index. Explain how refractive index can be used to calculate the speed of light in a material. Refraction The speed of light depends on the material through which the light is travelling. When light enters a different material (e.g. from air into glass), the speed of light changes. This causes the light to bend or refract. glass air The speed of light is affected by the density of the material through which it is travelling.
