This simulation explores the refraction of light at a plane boundary between two media with different indicies of refraction.
- Use the sliders to change the indicies of refraction for each medium and to change the angle of incidence.
- The refracted and reflected rays are displayed.
- The relative refractive index n12 is displayed: n12 = n2 / n1
