Refraction of Light

Refraction of light

Image formation by convex Lens





  • Note that the critical angle is an angle of incidence value. 
  • For the water-air boundary, the critical angle is 48.6-degrees. 
  • For the crown glass-water boundary, the critical angle is 61.0-degrees.
  •  The critical angle for the crown glass-air boundary,41.1 degrees

 = sine-1 (nr/ni) = invsine (nr/ni)
  • The ratio of nr/ni is a value less than 1.0. 
  • TIR only occurs if the refractive medium is less dense than the incident medium, the value of nmust be greater than the value of nr.
