PPT-The Refraction of Light, the Index of Refraction, and Snell’s Law

Refraction The bending or change in direction of light when it travels from one medium to another Recall What Causes Refraction Refraction is due to changes in the speed of light Different media slow down light by different amounts . Principles When light passes at an angle from one medium to another it undergoes refraction The angle of incidence and the angle of refraction are measured relative to the normal a line perpendicular to the surface If the indices of the two media Homework . for tomorrow…. .

RAY OPTICS -I Refraction of Light: Refraction is the phenomenon of change in the path of light as it travels from one medium to another (when the ray of light is incident obliquely). It can also be de 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.

Have you ever wondered why it appears we see puddles of water on a highway on a hot summer day?. What you are seeing is not really water, but a mirage.. 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.. Define refractive index.. Demonstrate refraction..
