The document discusses the laws of reflection and refraction of light. It states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, and that light bends when changing mediums due to changes in velocity. The index of refraction is a value that indicates how much a substance bends light. Snell's law states that the index of refraction of the incident medium times the sine of the angle of incidence equals the index of refraction of the refracted medium times the sine of the angle of refraction. An example calculation is shown to find the index of refraction of plexiglass using measurements and air's known index of refraction.
