What happens to the angle of refraction as the medium becomes denser
1 answer
As the medium becomes denser, the angle of refraction typically decreases. This phenomenon is known as refraction, and it occurs when light enters a new medium at an angle and changes direction due to the change in speed of light in the new medium. The greater the difference in density between the two mediums, the greater the change in direction of the light. So, as the medium becomes denser, the angle of refraction decreases.
