...the one in which it approached the surface ; thus the angles of reflection and incidence are equal. When a ray of light passes from a rarer to a denser medium, it is refracted, or turned out of its course : when it passes from a rare to a denser medium, as from the air into water,... | |

...liquid matter composing the globe, decreases gradually in density in rising from the surface (719); that when a ray of light passes from a rarer to a denser transparent medium, it is deflected towards the perpendicular to their common surface ; and that the... | |

...distance of over ninety six millions of miles. Light travels in straight lines, through a uniform medium. When a ray of light passes from a rarer to a denser medium, it is bent or refracted towards a perpendicular ; — when passing from a denser to a rarer medium, it is... | |

...consent, as — of our ideas. 12. " There shall no — be given, but the — of the prophet Jonas." 13. When a ray of light passes from a rarer to a denser medium, the — of the angle of incidence is greater than the — of the angle of refraction. 14. " They sent... | |

...and the altitude is too great by this depression. The correction for dip is therefore subtractive. When a ray of light passes from a rarer to a denser medium, it is bent towards the perpendicular, at the point at which it entered. This bending is called refraction.... | |

...incident on this plane at D, and let FDG be a perpendicular to the plane at the same point, then as the ray of light passes from a rarer to a denser medium, it will be bent towards the perpendicular, as we see in the figure. There are two laws which regulate... | |

...Increases. 53. It is refracted. ;• 54. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. 55. When a ray of light passes from a rarer to a denser medium, it is bent toward a perpendicular drawn to the surface of the denser medium. The opposite occurs when a ray... | |

...density is only one-half as great as at the earth's surface. According to a fundamental law of optics, if a ray of light passes from a rarer to a denser medium, it is bent toward the perpendicular to the surface which separates the two media ; but if it passes from... | |

...as on the lower side of the plate. The general law of refraction may, then, be expressed as follows: When a ray of light passes from a rarer to a denser medium it is usually refracted towards a line perpendicular to the surface of the latter, and, conversely, when... | |
