Physics Equations “Light and Optics” MCAT

January 2, 2008 | By admin In Mcat Exam |

Light and Optics

Index of refraction

n = c/v
**Compares the speed of light in a vacuum with the speed of light through a given medium**

angle of refraction — Snell’s Law

n1sin(theta) = n2sin(theta)

E = hf
**this equation shows the higher the freqeuncies of light have more energy**
