Refraction
May 9th, 2012
Snell's law (also known as the Snell–Descartes law and the law of refraction) is aformulaused to describe the relationship  between theangles of incidenceandrefraction, when referring to light or other wavespassing through a boundary between two differentisotropic media, such as water and glass.

; that is, the ray in thehigher-index medium is closer to the normal.In optics, the law is used inray tracingto compute theangles of incidence or refraction, and in experimental opticsandgemology to find therefractive indexof a material. The law is also satisfied inmetamaterials, which allow light to be  bent "backward" at a negative angle of refraction (negativerefractive index). Although named after Dutch astronomer WillebrordSnellius(1580–1626), the law was first accurately described by the Arab scientistIbn SahlatBaghdadcourt, when in 984 he used the law to derive lens shapes that focus light with nogeometric aberrations in the manuscript
On Burning M irrorsand Lenses
(984).

Snell's law states that the ratio of thesinesof the angles of incidence and refraction is equivalent to the ratio of phase velocitiesin the two media, or equivalent to the opposite ratioof the indices of refraction: with each as the angle measured from the normal, as the velocity of light in the respective medium (SI units are meters
