    In reflection and refraction of light, all angles are traditionally defined with respect to the perpendicular to the surface/interface at which the light is incident. When a ray of light travels from medium1 (whose refractive index is n1) to medium2 (whose refractive index is n2), it does the following: Bends further away from the perpendicular to the surface/interface if n1 > n2. Bends toward the perpendicular to the surface/interface if n1 > n2. Continues without changing its path (undeflected) even...

    water interface (the surface of the lake), it is partly reflected back into the air and partly refracted or transmitted into the water. This explains why on the surface of a lake sometimes you see the reflection of the surrounding landscape and other times the underwater vegetation. These effects on light propagation occur because light travels at different speeds depending on the medium. The index of refraction of a material, denoted by n, gives an indication of the speed of...
