NDLI: Snell's Law of Refraction

Content Provider	Scilit
Author	Bryant, F.
Copyright Year	1958
Description	Journal: Physics Bulletin The nature of the close fit between refraction angles calculated according to Kepler's formula (i-r ki sec r) and those obtained from Snell's law (sin i n sin r) has been discussed recently in the Bulletin. It is proposed in this brief note to indicate several points concerning the early history of Snell's sine law and also to mention some generally unappreciated mathematical aspects of the relationship. Many physics text-books preserve the tradition that the sine law was first stated by Willebrord Snell (1591-1626) in 1621.
