Study Notes
Refraction and Mirrors
- Refraction is the phenomenon responsible for the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another.
- When a light ray has a zero reflection angle, the angle of incidence is 0°.
- Light can be focused on the retina through the phenomenon of refraction.
- The speed of light in a vacuum is represented by the letter c.
- A concave mirror can be used to see a full-length image of a distant tall building.
