The time for light to travel this distance is about:. 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.. 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. . Observe each straw through the side of the cup as you slowly turn the cup. . DO NOT STIR THE CONTENTS!. Write down your observations. . What has happened in each example and why?.

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. 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. .

S8P4b. Describe how the behavior of light waves is manipulated causing reflection, refraction, diffraction, and absorption.. Reflection. Reflection occurs when a wave strikes an object or surface and bounces off.. 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.
