5-Physics-Wave-Superposition-Refraction-Angle

Snell law

Incidence angle I and reflection angle R relate by media refractive indexes n {Snell's law} {Snell law}: nI * sin(I) = nR * sin(R).

critical angle

If incidence angle is more than angle {critical angle}|, all light reflects, in total reflection, because reflection angle is 90 degrees or more. Critical angle depends on media refractive indexes.

total reflection

If incidence angle is more than critical angle, all light reflects {total reflection}|, because refraction angle is 90 degrees or more.
