A thermal inversion can cause rays to wrap around the earth in the infinite form of this phenomenon. That difference in temperature can also allow sound to travel farther due to this effect, such as sound traveling over a lake. This phenomenon is no longer observed once an angle of incidence reaches a critical angle and causes total internal reflection. One is the minimum value for the index associated with this effect; t
A thermal inversion can cause rays to wrap around the earth in the infinite form of this phenomenon. That difference in temperature can also allow sound to travel farther due to this effect, such as sound traveling over a lake. This phenomenon is no longer observed once an angle of incidence reaches a critical angle and causes total internal reflection. One is the minimum value for the index associated with this effect; that index, denoted n, is equated with angles of incidence via Snell's Law. For 10 points, name this phenomenon in which a wave changes velocity upon entering a different medium.
