Reflection, Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection, Refraction, Change in speed and direction of light as it passes into a different medium, Medium, Substance a wave travels through, Angle of incidence, Angle light ray coming into medium makes with normal, Reference line drawn at 90 degrees to surface, Normal Line, Sin(90), 1, Sin(0), 0, Sin(45), 0.71, Refractive index, Measure of how much light is slowed in a medium, Away from the normal, When light speeds up it will refract in this direction, Towards the normal, When light slows down it will refract in this direction, Straight on, When light is incident along the normal line it will go in this direction, Refractive index when angle of incidence is 30 degrees and angle of refraction is 20 degrees, 1.462, Refractive index when angle of incidence is 50 degrees and angle of refraction is 35 degrees, 1.336, Transverse, Light is this type of wave, Vacuum, Light can travel through a, Electromagnetic fields, Light travels via
