Introduction :
1. Refraction of waves ;
- “ When a wave traveling in one medium crosses the boundary into a
medium where its velocity is different, the transmitted wave may move in
a different direction than the incident wave.”

2. The characteristics of the refracted of water waves are as below ;
ג גdeep > גshallow
f same before and after refraction ( f = constant ),
v v deep > v shallow
Deep area Refractred near to normal line. (angle of i ≠ 0 )
Shallow area Refracted far from normal line. ( i ≠ 0)
f = constant f= v/ ג
v1 / ג1 = v2 / ג2

b) Refraction of light waves :
1. “When a light wave travelling in one medium crosses the boundary into a
medium with different density where it velocity is different.”
2. v = at low density medium.
