góc khúc xạ
Definition
- Noun (Physics):
- Angle of refraction: The angle formed between a refracted ray of light (or other wave) and the normal (a perpendicular line) to the surface at the point of refraction.
Usage Examples
- Noun:
- Góc khúc xạ phụ thuộc vào chiết suất của hai môi trường. (The angle of refraction depends on the refractive indices of the two media.)
- Học sinh đo góc khúc xạ trong thí nghiệm. (The student measured the angle of refraction in the experiment.)
Advanced Usage
- "Định luật Snell" (Snell's Law) mathematically describes the relationship between the angle of incidence () and the angle of refraction ().
- Định luật Snell được dùng để tính góc khúc xạ. (Snell's Law is used to calculate the angle of refraction.)
