PHYS 103 Quiz: Refraction of Light
- The index of refraction for vacuum is
- A tangent line is parallel to a normal line
- A normal line is perpendicular to the interface between material.
- If one measures the index of refraction to be 1.1, this material would be
- When we make multiple measurements, we can have more confidence in the index of refraction
- The index of refraction has units of distance.
- The imaginary line perpendicular to the incident ray onto a materials interface is known as a
- The speed of light is constant regardless of the material
- The angles used in Snell’s law are always
- Snell’s law helps us to determine
- It is possible to exceed the speed of light in a vacuum
- There is a special case when the index of refraction is less than 1.
- The higher density a material the
- The index of refraction for water is
- The speed of light in a vacuum is
- The speed of light
- The higher the index of refraction the
- The speed of light slows in water.
- The index of refraction is unitless.
