Define reflection in the context of light waves.

Reflection is the transmission of light waves through a surface.

Reflection is the absorption of light waves by a surface.

What is refraction and how does it occur?

Refraction occurs only in gases and not in liquids or solids.

Refraction is the absorption of light in a medium.

Refraction is the reflection of light when it hits a surface.

Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another.

State Snell's Law and its mathematical formula.

Snell's Law: n1 * sin(θ1) = n2 * sin(θ2), where n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the two media, and θ1 and θ2 are the angles of incidence and refraction, respectively.

n1 / sin(θ1) = n2 / sin(θ2)

n1 + n2 = θ1 + θ2

n1 * tan(θ1) = n2 * tan(θ2)

How can Snell's Law be applied to determine the angle of refraction?

Calculate the angle of incidence directly without using any formulas.

Use Snell's Law: θ1 = arcsin((n2/n1) * sin(θ2)).

Use Snell's Law: θ2 = arcsin((n1/n2) * sin(θ1)).

The angle of refraction is always equal to the angle of incidence.

What is the critical angle in total internal reflection?

The critical angle can be found using the formula θc = n1/n2.

The critical angle is determined by the wavelength of light.

The critical angle is calculated using the formula θc = arcsin(n2/n1).

The critical angle is always 90 degrees.

Explain the phenomenon of total internal reflection.

Total internal reflection is the phenomenon where light is completely reflected at the boundary of two media when the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle.

Total internal reflection occurs when light passes through a medium without any reflection.

Total internal reflection happens only in optical fibers and not in other materials.

Total internal reflection is the bending of light as it enters a new medium.
