PPT-Refraction

Transparent substances refract light Its not magic its science How light Refracts Refraction is due to changes in the speed of light In space light travels at 300 000 kms Space is a vacuum and there are no particles to get in the way of light and slow it down. 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 pp. 562 -567. Mr. Richter. Agenda. Warm-Up. Introduction to Refraction Demo. Reminder: Quarter 3 Ends Friday. Notes:. Refraction. Index of Refraction. Why Light Bends. Refracted Images. Snell’s Law. 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. . Intro to Refraction. Take 3 cups from the front, labeled 1,2,3. .

Light travels from crown glass (n=1.52) into air (n=1.00). The angle of refraction in air is 60. o. . What is the angle of incidence in glass?. 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..
