13. Refraction of Light : The bending of ray of light when it passes from one medium to another is called refraction of light.
Laws of Refraction :
(i) The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal at the point of incidence all lie in the same plane.
(ii) When a ray of light undergoes refraction then the ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is constant.
14. The Refractive Index : The refractive index of medium 2 with respect to medium is given by the ratio of the speed of light in medium 1 and the speed of light in medium 2. This is usually represented by the symbol n21. This can be expressed in an equation form as
