1. What is ‘α’ called?
2. What is ‘β’ called?
3. Define the term ‘refraction’
4. α = 42o , β = 30o , v1= 7ms-1 and λ1 = 2m. Using Snell’s law, calculate:
a) v2 b) λ2 c) f d) T

Refractive IndexRefraction is change in speed (and therefore direction) when waves move from medium to another.Refractive index is the ratio of the speed of waves in one medium to another.
