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. 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. . Geometrical optics. , or . ray optics. , describes light propagation in terms of "rays". The "ray" in geometric optics is an abstraction or "instrument", that can be used to predict the path of light.. Presented by: Vandana Bathla & Eric Williams. Light 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.. Physics 4150. Fall, 2016. M. Goldman, Instructor. Laser. Flashlight.

Vocabulary . Refraction-. . the bending of light as it passes from one material into another.. Prism-. . a polyhedron with two congruent and parallel faces (the bases) and whose lateral faces are parallelograms. The Law of Reflection. Reflection. Light behaves in a very predictable manner. Light can only travel in a straight line (most of the time…). The . Law of Reflection. states that the INCIDENT (incoming) light’s angle will be exactly the same as the reflecting light’s angle.
