Formulae
n = Sin i / Sin r
n = real depth/apparent depth
n = 1/Sin C
List
Practical effect due to refraction
Show
How a prism can be used to turn a ray of light through 90 and 180
Recall that :
Reflective road signs, mirages, prism reflectors and optical fibres are based on total internal reflection
