Refraction of Light

Refraction is a change in the direction of light rays when they travel from one medium to another. It is the bending of light when it goes through different media.

Angle of Refraction

Light is considered by many scientists to have dual nature, both particle nature and wave nature. First, Particle nature is one in which we consider a stream of packets of energy called photons. Second, Wave nature is considering light as electromagnetic…

Index of Refraction of Diamond

Diamond, the world’s hardest naturally occurring material and mineral known, is a solid form of the element carbon. The atoms are arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. They exist in a huge variety of colours. Also, they are one of the bes…

Textbook Question

Chapter 38, Problem 16PQ

A fish is 3.25 m below the surface of still water (Fig. P38.16). You do not want the fish to see your fishing boat. Is it possible to place your boat so that total internal reflection keeps it hidden from the fish? If so, explain how this is done. If not, explain why not.
