Snell's Law Calculator

Snell’s Law Calculator – Refraction & Refractive Index Tool Snell’s Law Calculator is a powerful and easy-to-use physics calculator for solving light refraction problems instantly. Calculate the angle of incidence, angle of refraction, or refractive index with a real-time visual ray diagram and automatic formula updates. Perfect for physics students, optics learners, teachers, and engineers. This calculator makes refraction calculations simple and precise. Calculate Instantly Solve for: Angle of Incidence (θ₁) Angle of Refraction (θ₂) Refractive Index of Medium 1 (n₁) Refractive Index of Medium 2 (n₂) Based on the Snell’s Law formula: n₁ · sin(θ₁) = n₂ · sin(θ₂) All calculations update in real time as you adjust angles or refractive indices. Interactive Visual Ray Diagram - Live incident and refracted ray visualization - Automatic angle display on diagram - Clear interface between two media - See how light bends when passing from air to water, glass, acrylic, diamond, and more Perfect for understanding optics and wave behavior visually.
