Snell’s Law
Snell’s law answers the question: In what direction travels a beam that is transmitted into a new medium? In this video you will also learn about the concept of total internal reflection.
Note that there is an error at minute 1:50, where the correct statement should be: “It can be gathered from Snell’s law that if n2 is greater than n1, the angle of transmittance will be smaller than the angle of incidence.”
