...visible at a. From a and b' let fall perpendiculars to d and c ; then the lines ad and b' c represent the relation between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction. In the case of water the proportion which b' c bears to ad is about three to four, or, more precisely,... | |

...in crystals belonging to the hexagonal and tetragonal system one of the rays obeys the ordinary laws of refraction, ie the refracted ray lies in the plane of incidence, and the sine of the angle of incidence bears a constant ratio to the sine of the angle of refraction. This... | |
