Refraction of Light

Mr. Anderson explains the refraction of light, using Snell's Law to quantify it. He introduces the concept of the critical angle and total internal reflection. A marching band analogy helps illustrate how light bends when moving between different media. The video also covers practical applications of refraction in prisms and spheres, using Snell's Law to solve related problems.
