Angle of Incidence: Angle at which the light ray enters the interface between two media.
Angle of Refraction: Angle at which the light ray bends or changes direction upon entering a new medium.
Air to Water:
- 30°: 22.17°
- 45°: 34.42°
- 60°: 49.4°
- 90°: No refraction, as light ray will pass straight through the interface without bending.
Air to Glass:
- 30°: 20.7°
- 45°: 29.1°
- 60°: 36.9°
- 90°: No refraction, as light ray will pass straight through the interface without bending.
Glass to Water:
- 30°: 41.81°
- 45°: 49.3°
- 60°: 55.53°
- 90°: No refraction, as light ray will pass straight through the interface without bending.
