Refraction Light changes velocity when it enters a different transparent medium Light slows when it enters material of higher refractive index Light speeds up when it enters material of lower refractive index
Refraction When light changes speed it bends; this is refraction All angles measured from normal (perpendicular) to interface of surfaces
Snell’s Law n₁sinƟ₁ = n₂sinƟ₂ n for vacuum is n for air is ? n for acrylic prism
