Reflection and Refraction of Light In this activity, the properties of reflection and refraction of light will be explored. The simulation shows the light rays as they are incident on a medium interface (incident ray), the reflected from the medium interface (reflected ray), and refracted into the second medium after crossing the interface (refracted ray). Additionally the angles made by each of these rays with respect to the normal (vertical black perpendicular to the interface) are displayed as wedges in...
