Transmission Media -Cont

   Example of Refraction
o    A pencil sticking out of a glass of water appears bent because the light
by which we see it changes direction as it moves from air to water

ƒ     Direction of Refraction
Direction in which a light is refracted depends upon the density of a medium

o    A  beam  of  light  moves  from  a  less  dense  into  a  more  dense  medium
bend towards vertical axis
o    Incident angle is 'I' and Refracted angle is 'R'
