What happens to the Angle of Refraction as the medium becomes denser?

1 answer

As the medium becomes denser, the angle of refraction generally decreases. This is because light travels more slowly in denser mediums, causing it to bend more as it enters the new medium. This bending of light results in a smaller angle of refraction compared to the angle of incidence.
