Reflection and Refraction in Different Mediums
Author(s): Charles Hemsworth*
The rapid change in the propagation direction of a wave that meets the line between the two different mediums is known as reflection. The Minimum portion of the incoming wave is still in contact with the same medium. Assume that the incoming light ray intersects the normal of a plane perpendicular to the boundary at an angle of θi. The reflected ray then forms an angle of θr with the normal and lies in the same plane as the incident ray and normal... Read More»
