Snell’s Law with PhET Interactive Simulations

In this video we will explain Snell’s law using the Bending Light simulation from PhET Interactive Simulation. We start with a review of refraction, the we present a qualitative explanation of Snell’s law. Finally, we will work through two example problems for calculating the index of refraction and the angle of refraction.
