Physics Course/Waves/Wave Refraction

Wave Refraction Wave refraction is a phenomenon observed when wave travels and hits a blocking object at a deflected angle instead of passing through the object in straight line. 200px Angle of Refraction If θi represents the incident angle and if wave travels in straight line then the angle of refraction is equal to angle of incident θr = θi If wave travels is being deflected at angle θr Then the deflection can be calculated by Degree of Refraction =
