Description: The following video shows waves refracting at a larger angle of incidence. The frame rate is 30 frames per second.
Questions: 1. Are the waves moving into deep or shallow water? How can you tell (give at least two ways). 2. Measure the angle of incidence and refraction using this still clip: 3. Compare the values you measured in the previous section to these values: Does there appear to be more or less refraction at greater angles? Is the amount of refraction proportional to the angle of incidence (e.g. if you double the incident angle does the angle of refraction double as well)?
