Snell's LawFor physics, we had to take a quiz on a physics topic, so I chose the topic on "Snell's Law". In the introduction I answer a number of guiding questions about his discoverer: - Who was Willebrord Snel van Royen? - What did he discover about speed? - What law is named after him and what is this law? is the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction? And my sub-questions are: - What is the influence of refraction on your vision - What is the limiting angle between air and plexiglass? plexiglass? - What is the refractive index of plexiglass in air? Willebrord Snel van Royen was a Dutch mathematician, physicist and astronomer who lived between 1580 and 1626. He is known by his Latin name Snellius. He was the son of Rudolp Snel van Royen, professor of mathematics at the University of Leiden. From 1613 to 1626, Willebrord Snel van Royen succeeded him as professor of mathematics at the University of Leiden. At that time he published ...
