...according to the laws of Descartes, that is, the incident and refracted rays are in the same plane, and the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction are to each other in a constant ratio. In this case, that is, when the plane of incidence is a principal plane, the extraordinary ray is subject... | |

...incidence and refraction are equal — had been known to the Greeks ; but the law of refraction — that the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction are to each other in a ratio depending on the media — was now published for the first time.* Descartes gave it as his own... | |
