1
Q
When does refraction happen
A
When waves move from one material to another
2
Q
What happens during refraction
A
The speed an wavelength change and the frequency remains constant
3
Q
Does each colour of light refract the same angle
A
No
4
Q
What happens during total internal reflection
A
The light does not leave the glass block but reflects from the back surface
5
Q
What happens at the critical angle
A
The light will refract at 90 degrees
6
Q
What happens when the angle of refraction is bigger then the critical angle
A
Total internal refraction
