Refraction of Light
In this video Paul Andersen explains how light can be refracted, or bent, as it moves from one medium to another. The amount of refraction is determined by the angle of incidence and the index of refraction. Snell's Law can be used to...

Ray diagrams
Why can you see your reflection in some objects? In this video we will look at ray diagrams for reflection, refraction and colour absorption. Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Light is a transverse wave, and travels...

Refraction and Refractive Index
This video covers refraction and the refractive index, which is based on density. It also explains why the angle of refraction is different than the angle of incidence and how this knowledge is helpful when it comes to lenses.

Refraction and Diffraction
Holding a conversation underwater has its challenges. Sound and light waves can travel in different mediums, but it affects their waves. The video explains the process of refraction and diffraction and how it relates to energy waves.
