Refraction and Snells Law SNC 2 D
Index of Refraction Light will travel more slowly in more dense materials. The ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum (or air) to the speed in the material is the index of refraction (or refractive index), n.
Analogy for Refraction 3 x 108 m/s Pavement Air Glass 2 x 108 m/s vs < v p Sand 3 x 108 m/s Light bends into glass then returns along original path much as a rolling axle would when encountering a strip of mud.
Index of Refraction: Example For water, the index of refraction is 1. 33. The speed of light in water is therefore:

Boundaries So in 2 D (with the boundary at an angle to the wave), the wave will bend as those parts that enter the more-dense material first slow down first. (The black lines show the crests or “wavefronts”).
Please Note! If the ray is perpendicular to the boundary, no bending will occur:
Snell’s Law The amount by which the wave is bent is given by Snell’s Law (ni and nr are the refractive indices of the media).
Snell’s Law Note that a ray will always bend towards the normal when travelling into a more-dense medium
Snell’s Law Note that a ray will always bend towards the normal when travelling into a more-dense medium (and away from the normal when travelling into a less-dense medium).

Dispersion Note that since different wavelengths of white light refract slightly differently, refraction can split white light into its different wavelengths (i. e. colours) especially if refracted twice.
