Questions and Answers

Which phenomenon is most commonly observed to experience refraction?

  • All waves
  • Water waves
  • Light waves (correct)
  • Sound waves

    • What determines how much a wave is refracted?

  • Change in wave speed
  • Initial direction of wave propagation
  • Both change in wave speed and initial direction of wave propagation (correct)
  • None of the above

    • What does Snell's law state?

  • The ratio of the sines of the angle of incidence and angle of refraction is equal to the ratio of phase velocities in the two media
  • The ratio of the sines of the angle of incidence and angle of refraction is equal to the ratio of refractive indices of the two media (correct)
  • The ratio of phase velocities in the two media is equal to the ratio of refractive indices of the two media
  • None of the above
