does anybody know formula for finding angle of refraction with given angles of incidence in the medium and the angle of refraction?
To calculate the angle of refraction, you can use the formula: n1*sin(theta1) = n2*sin(theta2), where n1 and n2 are the indices of refraction for the two mediums, and theta1 and theta2 are the angles of incidence and refraction, respectively.
The angle of incidence and the angle of refraction are related by Snell's Law, which states that the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is equal to the ratio of the indices of refraction for the two mediums.
No, the angle of refraction cannot be greater than the angle of incidence. According to Snell's Law, the angle of refraction is always smaller than the angle of incidence when light passes from a more optically dense medium to a less dense medium.
The index of refraction is a measure of how much a medium slows down the speed of light. The higher the index of refraction, the greater the angle of refraction will be when light passes from a more optically dense medium to a less dense medium.
No, the angle of refraction cannot be negative. It is always measured as a positive angle from the normal line, which is a perpendicular line to the surface of the medium at the point of incidence.
