Angle of incidence
=
Angle of reflection
The normal line is
perpendicular
to the object reflecting
Refraction
is when waves bend
The greater the change in
speed
of a wave, the more it
refracts
If the light ray is travelling into a
more
dense
object, it slows down, causing it to refract
towards
the normal
Red
light refracts the least due to its long wavelength,
Violet
light refracts the most as it has the
shortest
wavelength = smallest change in speed
