... na sin a nb sin b (Snell's Law of Refraction) Note that angles are defined from the normal to the reflecting/refracting surface. A ray of light passing from a lower index of refraction to a higher index of refraction is bent toward the normal. When passing from a higher to a lower refractive in ...

... Quiz: A sled and rider with a total mass of 40 kg are perched at the top of the hill shown. Suppose that 2000 J of work is done against friction as the sled travels from the top (at 40 m) to the second hump (at 30 m). Will the sled make it to the top of the second hump if no kinetic energy is given ...
