Some typical refractive indices for yellow light wavelength equal to 589 nanometres 10 9 metre are the following. As shown in Figure 23 Snells law of refraction shows the relationship between the incident angle and the refractive index. Literature guides Concept explainers Writing guide Popular textbooks Popular high. When the light goes from higher to lower refractive index light bends away from the normal. This law also applies to the bending of light by lenses and to
