I am confused with this concept, so as the index of refraction increases for a medium, the angle then bends more towards the normal according to snells law. Does that mean it bends less in a higher index of refraction since the angle to normal decreases?
if you have a lens with a greater index of refraction, light bends more and your focal length decreases. Does this bending have anything to do with snell law and away or towards normal? Also dont understand what it means that "focal length decreasing" when lights bends more due to a thicker lens.
Thank you for your time.
