iGCSE Physics - Refraction of Light / Refractive Index (PowerPoint)

(0)
iGCSE - Refraction of light and refractive index This lesson covers the refraction of light and the calculation of refractive index when passing from air into transparent materials. This lesson also demonstrates the experiment that can be performed, step-by-step with animation. There are also two examples of light entering and exiting other shapes (prism and edge of a square) which can cause pupils issues in exams.
