Mr. Richter. Agenda. Warm-Up. Notes:. The Speed of Light. Index of Refraction. Angle of Refraction. Total Internal Reflection. Dispersion . Objectives: We Will Be Able To…. Unit 8. How we use light to see.. To the physicist, the colors of things are not in the substances of the things themselves.. Color is in the eye of the beholder and is provoked by the frequencies of light emitted or reflected by things.. When light travels from one material to another it usually changes direction. The bending of light that occurs at the borderline of two materials is called . refraction. Geometrical concepts:. -incident ray. Mr. . . Dvorsky. SNC2D1. Review of last chapter. From the last chapter, we know how light behaves when it travels in space or in the air – i.e. it travels in a straight line.. When light strikes a plane mirror, the angle of incidence = the angle of reflection. . What is Refraction?. In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines.. But what happens when light travels from one material into another?. Like for example, from air to water?. What Happens When Light hits a Medium. Refraction occurs at a boundary. The speed of light must change at the boundary. The angle of the light ray is measured from the normal, as was the case with reflection. If the speed slows across the boundary, the refracted angle will be smaller – the light ray will bend toward the normal.. Reflection. When a wave reaches a boundary between two media, usually some or all of the wave bounces back into the first medium.. A metal surface is rigid to light waves that shine upon it. . Light .

What is refraction?. What causes refraction?. What are some examples of refraction of light that show why it is important?. Refraction of Light - Defined. Refraction of light occurs when a light wave moves from a vacuum (or a medium) into another medium (or a vacuum). When a wave changes media, its ____________ changes..
