9.4 Refraction
Suppose that a plane wave is traveling in one medium and is incident upon an interface of this medium with a second medium through which the wave can propagate. Examples include light in air that is incident upon an air/glass interface, or a sound wave in air, incident upon an air/water interface.5 We have both a reflected wave and a transmitted wave . We focus here on the transmitted wave.
In Fig. 9.21 we exhibit a wave incident on an interface. Notice that the transmitted wave is not in the same direction as the incident wave. This change in direction is called refraction . Of greatest interest is the relationship between the angle of incidence θ i and the angle of refraction θ r.6
