1. Refraction II lesson illustration Speed and RefractionRefraction II lesson illustration

 

a) If fused quartz is faster?

Refraction II lesson illustration

 

 

 

 

D

(angle of refraction < angle of incidence)

Refraction II lesson illustration

 

c) Fused quartz same speed as Medium X

Refraction II lesson illustration

 

 

 

 

C

(No bending)

Refraction II lesson illustration


 

 

d) This ray is not possible

 

Refraction II lesson illustration

 

 

 

 

 

A

(light always crosses over normal)

Refraction II lesson illustration

 


 

 

If Light goes from fast medium to slow, light bends toward the normal
 

Refraction II lesson illustration

 

 

 

 

Slow medium to fast,
light bends away from the normal

 


Refraction II lesson illustration  Light Ray leaving water
 and entering Air 
 

 

Velocity of Air > Velocity of Water

 

 

 

 

 

 

If θin = 0 degrees,


No Refraction



 



 Refraction II lesson illustration

(Light must come in at
an angle to be refracted)

 



 

 

 

Which medium is faster?

Refraction II lesson illustration

 

 

 

 

 

Medium A

(larger angle from normal)

 



 

REFRACTION IS ALWAYS
ACCOMPANIED BY REFLECTION

Did you know....

A sunset is an optical illusion !!!

Refraction allows you
to see the sun
even after it has set. 

 


 

 

 

Which ray diagram is correct?

 

Refraction II lesson illustration

 

 

 

 

Choice 2

(Angle ray leaves air = Angle ray enters air)

 

 


 

 

 

At what angle will the ray reenter the air?

35 degrees

 

 

 

 

 

What's wrong with this picture?

Refraction II lesson illustration

 

 

 

 

 

Air is faster than flint glass. second angle should be larger

When a wave enters another medium,

part of the wave is transmitted, part is reflected.
