5 Questions
What is refraction?
Redirection of a wave as it passes from one medium to another
What determines how much a wave is refracted?
Change in wave speed and initial direction of wave propagation
Which law describes the refraction of light?
Snell's law: $\frac{\sin\theta_1}{\sin\theta_2} = \frac{v_1}{v_2} = \frac{n_2}{n_1}$
Which waves can experience refraction?
Light waves, sound waves, and water waves
What is the most commonly observed phenomenon of refraction?
Refraction of light
