What determines how much a wave is refracted?
What determines how much a wave is refracted?
- Change in wave amplitude and angle of reflection
- Change in wave speed and angle of incidence
- Change in wave frequency and initial amplitude of the wave
- Change in wave speed and initial direction of wave propagation relative to the direction of change in speed (correct)
What law governs the refraction of light?
What law governs the refraction of light?
- Hooke's law: $F = -kx$
- Einstein's law: $E=mc^2$
- Snell's law: $\frac{\sin\theta_1}{\sin\theta_2} = \frac{v_1}{v_2} = \frac{n_2}{n_1}$ (correct)
