Definitions from the WebAngle of RefractionDefinition: The angle between the refracted ray and the normal when a ray of light passes from one medium to another. Senses:1. Physics: In physics, the angle of refraction refers to the change in direction of a ray of light or any other wave when it enters a medium with a different refractive index. It is governed by Snell's law. Example sentence: The angle of refraction is determined by the ratio of the speeds of light in the two media. 2. Optics: In optics, the angle of refraction denotes the angle at which a light ray is bent or refracted when passing through a lens or other optical medium. Example sentence: As the light enters the water, the angle of refraction causes the apparent position of the object to shift. Related Products: | ||||
