Laws of Refraction
Laws of Refraction
The way a ray of light refracts when it is incident on the surface separating two media depends not only on the refractive indices of the media but also on the angle of incidence.
In the given figure there are two mediums : Air and Water. Let their refractive indices be and
respectively. The two media can be any pair such as air and water, or air and glass. Suppose a ray of light called as incident ray traveling in medium air, is incident on the surface of water body . Draw a normal to the surface at the point of incidence of incident ray.
The formed between the incident ray and the normal is called the angle of incidence
.
The between the refracted ray and the normal is called the angle of refraction
.
The ray of light inside the medium is called as refracted ray.
Laws Of Refraction:
Two laws of refraction governs the refraction that takes place at a surface of separation.
1. The incident ray, the normal and the refracted ray to the refracting surface at the point of incidence lie in the same plane.
2. The angle of incidence and the angle of refraction satisfy the equation
The second law given above is also called Snells law.

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
It was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.

8thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.

7thBeing a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.

8thAbout Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
Shreya Shrivastava
8thAbhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
Manish Kumar
10thAbhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.

10thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
Hiya Gupta
8thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
Shivam Rana
7thIt was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
Cheshta
10thIt has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
