Refraction
The term refraction is the bending behaviour of light when it passes through from one transparent medium to another transparent medium such as water, glass, vacuum, air, plastic etc.
Refraction of Light
The refraction of light shows that light refracts every time it travels at an angle from a medium to the next medium with a different refractive index (optical density).
The refraction of light demonstrate that change of direction which light travels is caused by a change in speed of light. There will be a change in wavelength when light changes the direction it is traveling, which will then change the speed of light.
The Refraction of Light Wave:
Base on the diagram below, light travels from air into water, the light refract, causing the speed of light to slow down, making light continue to travel at a different direction. The change of direction is called refraction, as light enters from a less dense medium to a denser medium, light should refract (bends) more towards the normal line.

When light travels from a dense media into a less dense media (such as water into air), light will refract away from the normal as it exits the dense medium.The speed and wavelength of the light will then increase.
Refractive Index:
Refractive Index formulae is use to find the change of speed of light as it travels from air into glass. It measure how much light slows down when it enters denser medium such as glass.

Light passed through a transmission grating is often sent in all directions due to interference. The grating acts as a new wave source and causes the light to travel in different paths. Equation 1 below shows the relationship between path difference and light direction due to constructive interference. D represents the line spacing and sinƟ=a/c according to the drawing below.
Measurements were taken of reflection and refraction angles from the vertical, speed and wavelength. It was noticed that if light was shone at several prisms, at a certain angle, colours of light were refracted. Some of the colours refracted differently due to their different speed and wavelength. Through the computer test, it was found that when light moved from an area of low density (eg air) to high density, the angle of refraction was decreased. For example, what was tested was light going through air to water ( low to high density) with the angle of vertical being 30 degrees.
A. The size of the molecule. The larger molecule will diffuse more slowly than the smaller molecule.
This happens through a process called diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration. (McQuade,
A rainbow is caused by the reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. . It takes the form of a multicolored arc; Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the side of sky directly opposite the sun. A primary rainbow the arc shows red on the outer part and violet on the inner part.
Formula of an Ionic Compound Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to determine the empirical formula of an unknown compound. An empirical formula is a formula that gives the proportions or the kinds of elements present in a compound but not the exact numbers or arrangement of atoms. In this lab, two solutions with equal mouths of reactant ions will be combined; the total volume of the solution will be held constant while the volume ratio of the reactant is varied.
The 9th Circuit Federal Court recently affirmed a district court case that upholds an ATF interpretation on medical marijuana card holders and the purchase of firearms. The court’s decision makes it illegal for an individual to possess, transfer, or purchase firearms if they hold a medical marijuana card.
When a wave passes from one medium to another medium, the wave will change its speed and its direction. For example, when a light wave travels through air and then passes through water, the wave will slow and change direction. This is because like what I talked about different densities changes the results. When light is shined to an object with a high density, light tends to bend more which in this case affects the refraction and reflection. Refraction becomes lower when light is shined to a higher dense medium.
For example, when shined light from air (low density) to glass (high density) the angle of incident was at 30 degrees ( the angle of reflection was also at 30 degrees) but the angle of refraction was at 20 degrees. Shining light from air to water was similar, same as before (angle of incident and the angle of reflection at 30 degrees) the angle of refraction went up to 22 degrees. This happens because water is not as dense as glass is, therefore light doesn’t bend as much. If we changed it up and have light shine from a high density medium to a low density medium, the angle of refraction increases. For example, our third experiment is that we shined light from water to air, having the angle of intensity at 30 degrees (reflection at 30) and the angle of refraction at 42 degrees. This is how light behaves when it refracts to high and low density
How does a Lens Refract Light? Convex Lens: Convex lens is a converging lens and are thicker in the middle. As rays of light passes through the lens, the rays are brought close together (converge) When parallel rays of light passes from an optical less dense medium (air) through a convex lens (glass), the refracted rays converge at one point called the focal point. The distance between the principal focus and the centre of the lens is called the focal length.
The speed of the wavelength of white light before it hits the raindrop determines the color a raindrop will emit. If the wavelength of white light travels at a slow speed, then the wavelength of light will bend more when it enters the raindrop.
