Refraction of Light
Refraction of Light: Lenses and Optical Instruments
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Refraction | The change in the speed of light as a ray of light goes form one material to another in which causes the ray to deviate from its incident direction |
Index of refraction | parameter used to describe the extent to which the speed of light in a material differs from that in a vacuum |
All variables associated witht he incident and reflected ray are labeled with subscript _____ | 1 |
All variables associated witht he refracted ray are labeled with subscript _____ | 2 |
converging lens | lens that causes incident parallel rays to converge at the focal point |
