LIGHT TRAVELS IN A STRAIGHT LINE IN TRANSPARENT MEDIUM ( USUALLY) REFLECTION WHEN FALLS ON SHINING OR POLISHED SURFACE LAWS OF REFLECTION
Illumination of the subject from an angle as opposed to having light shine straight down or up through the object OBLIQUE REFRACTION IS THE PHENOMENON IN WHICH RAY OF LIGHT PROPOGATING IN AN OBLIQUE WAY IN ONE (TRANSPARENT ) MEDIUM , CHANGES IT’S DIRECTION OF PROPOGATION ( BENDS its PATH) WHEN IT GOES INTO OTHER ( DIFFERENT TRANSPARENT ) MEDIUM
Optical Density Higher the speed of light in the Medium the less dense is it’s OPTICAL DENSITY MEANS Light Travels faster in optically Rarer than Optically Denser Medium Relative Refractive Index Absolute Refractive Index OR REFRACTIVE INDEX
Higher OPTICAL DENSITY means higher Refractive Index If the Refractive Index is Equal for two Mediums , we may not even see the Boundary Air and Vaccum REFRACTIVE INDEX DEPENDS ON TEMPERATURE HOT AIR – on very hot sunny day on Road
When light falls perpendicularly or normally on the surface of a glass slab, it goes straight. There is no bending of ray of light on entering the glass slab or coming out of it. In this case angle of incidence and angle of refraction is zero. The same happens if the ray of light falls perpendicularly on the surface of water. There is a Change in SPEED.

Total internal reflection: It is the phenomenon when a ray of light travelling in a denser medium, is incident at the surface of a rarer medium such that the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle for the pair of media, the ray is totally reflected back into the denser medium.
