Refraction

Through a plane surface for 0 Ray changes path bends

def

Change in path of light on changing medium

Path changes If 0 Path does not change If = 0

Governed by Refractive index

Defined as

Towards the normal (r<i) While travelling from Rarer to denser medium

Away from the normal (i < r) While travelling from Denser to rarer medium Produces Total internal reflection Application Mirage Optical fiber

sin = sin

Results in

Apparent depth being less than real depth No deviation Displacement

If the angle of incidence in denser medium is greater than

Critical angle

Given by relation 1
