Refraction, simply put, is the bending of light as it passes through different objects or materials. As light passes from one medium to another, it is either slowed down or sped up, which causes the light to bend. How does refraction occur? Refraction occurs when light passes from one medi...
REFRACTION OF LIGHT When a ray of light traversing a homogeneous medium falls on the bounding surface of another transparent homogeneous medium, it is found that the direction of the transmitted ray in the second medium is different from that of the incident ray; in other words, the ray is ...

Shown, in particular, that in the case when the energy is...
Larmor has developed the mathematical theory of the refraction (Phil. Mag., December 1924), and has shown that if c is the velocity of light in vacuum and c' in the presence of electrons, then c and c' are related by the equation , where N is the number of electrons per unit ...
Now, substituting the values in the equation as follows: (1.00) sin 22o= 1.44 sin θ2. sin θ2= (1.00/1.44) sin 22o= 0.260 θ2= sin-1(0.260) = 15o 2. The light travelling through the optical fibre reaches the end of the optical fibre and exits into the air. If the angle of...
