May 16, 2011 · Refraction occurs when light interacts with a medium, with photons being absorbed and re-emitted by atoms, which alters their trajectory. The bending of light is not due to individual photons …

Sep 18, 2008 · The discussion focuses on calculating the lateral displacement of light rays passing through a glass block, specifically for blue and red light. It emphasizes the use of Snell's Law to …

Jan 14, 2011 · Why does the frequency of light wave doesn't change during refraction ?

Aug 28, 2024 · Hi, Refractive index can be complex. When Snell's law is taken into account refraction angle can also be complex. What is the meaning of the imaginary part and the real part of the …

Oct 2, 2010 · Homework Statement In order to determine the refractive index of a transparent plate of glass, a microscope is first focussed on a tiny scratch on the upper surface and the barrel position is …

Jul 29, 2013 · Do you get the displacement effect characteristic of refraction or do the rays go right through only attenuated? EmilyRuck said: fields are not considered in Snell's law. It deals only with …

Nov 25, 2015 · To determine the minimum index of refraction for a glass cube allowing visibility through the opposite face, the critical angle of incidence must be calculated using Snell's law. The angle of …

Feb 10, 2013 · The discussion revolves around calculating the diameter of a laser beam as it transitions from air into glass with a specific index of refraction. Participants debate whether the beam's …

Dec 11, 2015 · When monochromatic green light passes from air to water, it retains its color because the frequency remains constant during refraction, while the wavelength decreases due to the change in …

Aug 18, 2016 · The discussion centers on the constancy of light frequency during refraction as it transitions between media of different densities. It is argued that frequency remains unchanged …
