1
Q
Formula for refractive index
A
Sin (i)/Sin (r)
2
Q
Equation for critical angle
A
Sin (c) = 1/Refractive Index
3
Q
Critical angle
A
Greatest angle where refracted light travels through the medium instead of totally internally reflecting
4
Q
Total internal reflection
A
The process in which light reflects off the line between two medium when the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle
