    Snell's Law describes how light refracts when passing from one medium to another. It relates the angle of incidence to the angle of refraction and uses the refractive indices of the two media. The apparent depth of an object seen underwater is greater than its actual depth due to the difference in refractive indices of air and water. Total internal reflection occurs when light traveling from a medium of higher refractive index to a lower one is incident at an angle greater than the critical angle, causing the light to be reflected back into the first medium.
