Refraction of light at a boundary

$Refraction of light at a boundary$

A light ray passes through air and strikes water. As is does so, it is refracted.

Use the slider to select the angle of incidence, i_AIR, and note down the respective angle of refraction, i_WATER. Record your results on the data sheet.
