2 Review Basic Geometry!

3 Ray Approximation The rays are straight lines perpendicular to the wave fronts With the ray approximation, we assume that a wave moving through a medium travels in a straight line in the direction of its rays

4 Light Rays: Ignore Diffraction and Interference of waves! Diffraction depends on SLIT WIDTH: the smaller the width, relative to wavelength, the more bending and diffraction. We will assume that λ<<d, where d is the diameter of the opening. This approximation is good for the study of mirrors, lenses, prisms, etc.

5 The Ray Model of Light Let us define a light ray as a line in the direction along which light energy is flowing. Any narrow beam of light, such as a laser beam, is actually a bundle of many parallel light rays. You can think of a single light ray as the limiting case of a laser beam whose diameter approaches zero Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 23-19

6 The Ray Model of Light Light travels through a transparent material in straight lines called light rays. The speed of light is v c/n, where n is the index of refraction of the material. Light rays do not interact with each other. Two rays can cross without either being affected in any way Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 23-20

7 The Ray Model of Light An object is a source of light rays. Rays originate from every point on the object, and each point sends rays in all directions. The eye sees an object when diverging bundles of rays from each point on the object enter the pupil and are focused to an image on the retina Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 23-22

8 The Ray Model of Light Light interacts with matter in four different ways: At an interface between two materials, light can be either reflected or refracted. Within a material, light can be either scattered or absorbed Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 23-21

9 Objects Objects can be either self-luminous, such as the sun, flames, and lightbulbs, or reflective. Most objects are reflective Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 23-23

10 Objects The diverging rays from a point source are emitted in all directions. Each point on an object is a point source of light rays. A parallel bundle of rays could be a laser beam, or light from a distant object Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 23-24

11 Ray Diagrams Rays originate from every point on an object and travel outward in all directions, but a diagram trying to show all these rays would be messy and confusing. To simplify the picture, we use a ray diagram showing only a few rays Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 23-25

12 Reflection & Refraction i r n sin n sin

13 Law of Reflection i The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface It is at the point where the incident ray strikes the surface The incident ray makes an angle of θ 1 with the normal The reflected ray makes an angle of θ 1 with the normal r

14 Specular Reflection Specular reflection is reflection from a smooth surface The reflected rays are parallel to each other All reflection in this text is assumed to be specular

15 Diffuse Reflection Diffuse reflection is reflection from a rough surface The reflected rays travel in a variety of directions A surface behaves as a smooth surface as long as the surface variations are much smaller than the wavelength of the light

16 Following the Reflected and Refracted Rays Ray is the incident ray. Ray is the reflected ray. Ray is refracted into the lucite. Ray is internally reflected in the lucite. Ray is refracted as it enters the air from the lucite. Section 35.5

17 How many times will the incident beam shown be reflected by each of the parallel mirrors?

19 Mirror Mirror

20 QuickCheck 23.3 You are looking at the image of a pencil in a mirror. What do you see in the mirror if the top half of the mirror is covered with a piece of dark paper? A. The full image of the pencil. B. The top half only of the pencil. C. The bottom half only of the pencil. D. No pencil, only the paper Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 23-41

22 Why are most materials Opaque? (Opaque Can t see through) They absorb light without re-emitting it. Vibrations given by the light to their atoms and molecules are turned into random kinetic energy they become slightly warmer.

23 Opacity: Mirrors Free electrons in opaque reflective surfaces can vibrate, absorb & re-emit at any frequency.

24 Transparency Selective Absorption Glass resonates strongly with UV and infrared, absorbing those frequencies while transmitting visible frequencies.

25 Refraction: Bending Light into Focus

26 Refraction: Bending of Light Transmitted through Materials

27 Light Bends because it Slows Down.

28 Atoms are Optical Tuning Forks Light slows down as it travels through glass because it takes time to be absorbed and re-emitted.

29 Light Slows Down in Materials Light Bends Toward the Normal when going from a medium of lower refractive index to one that has a higher refractive index and visa versa. lower n higher n

30 Index of Refraction n c v n 1 Vacuum: 1 Water: 1.33 Glass: 1.46 Diamond: 2.4

31 The Index of Refraction Refraction: Light Bends in Transmission The speed of light in any material is less than its speed in vacuum The index of refraction, n, of a medium can be defined as speed of light in a vacuum c n speed of light in a m edium v n λ λin vacuum λn λin a medium λ λ n For a vacuum, n = 1 We assume n = 1 for air also For other media, n > 1 n is a dimensionless number greater than unity, not necessarily an integer

32 Some Indices of Refraction

33 Variation of Index of Refraction with Wavelength n sp e e d o f lig h t in a v a cu u m c sp e e d o f lig h t in a m e d iu m v This dependence of n on λ is called dispersion The index of refraction for a material generally decreases with increasing wavelength Violet light bends more than red light when passing into a refracting material λ λ n

34 Frequency Doesn t Change! As light travels from one medium to another, its frequency does not change Both the wave speed and the wavelength do change The wavefronts do not pile up, nor are created or destroyed at the boundary, so ƒ must stay the same

35 Snell s Law of Refraction Angles are always measured from the normal. n sin n sin

36 Snell s Law Light is refracted into a crown glass slab. n 1 = 1.00 and n 2 = 1.52 If θ 1 = 30.0 o, θ 2 =? θ 2 = sin -1 (n 1 / n 2 ) sin θ 1 = 19.2 o The ray bends toward the normal, as expected because n 2 > n 1

37 In general: Snell s Law of Refraction n sin n sin n n n n2 If n n, then measured from the normal!

40 Prelab Emerging Beam is Parallel to Incident Beam but offset distance d, called the Lateral Shift and is the subject of this week s lab! Fig , p. 989

41 Prelab for Next Lab:

42 Real and Apparent Depth Real and apparent depth. The refraction of light at the surface of water makes ponds and swimming pools appear shallower than they really are. A 1m deep pond would only appear to be 0.75 m deep when viewed from directly above. When light emerges from glass or water into air it speeds up again.

47 Beam & Refraction Directions Possible directions of the beam are indicated by rays numbered 1 through 5 The refracted rays are bent away from the normal since n 1 > n 2

48 An application of internal reflection Plastic or glass rods are used to pipe light from one place to another Applications include: medical use of fiber optic cables for diagnosis and correction of medical problems Telecommunications A flexible light pipe is called an optical fiber A bundle of parallel fibers (shown) can be used to construct an optical transmission line Fiber Optics

49 Construction of an Optical Fiber The transparent core is surrounded by cladding The cladding has a lower n than the core This allows the light in the core to experience total internal reflection The combination is surrounded by the jacket

50 Total Internal Reflection 90 2 n sin n sin sin C n 2 The Critical Angle n 1

51 Critical Angle There is a particular angle of incidence that will result in an angle of refraction of 90 This angle of incidence is called the critical angle, θ C n 2 sin θc (for n1 n 2) n1

52 Critical Angle Sample Problem A ray of light, emitted by a laser located beneath the surface of an unknown liquid with air above it, undergoes total internal refection as shown. What is the index of refraction for the liquid? What is its likely identification?

53 QuickCheck 23.5 A laser beam undergoes two refractions plus total internal reflection at the interface between medium 2 and medium 3. Which is true? A. n 1 < n 3. B. n 1 > n 3. C. There s not enough information to compare n 1 and n Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 23-62

55 If you pass white light through a prism, it separates into its component colors. long wavelengths R.O.Y. G. B.I.V short wavelengths

56 The index of refraction depends on WAVELENGTH. long wavelengths R.O.Y. G. B.I.V short wavelengths

57 The speed and wavelength change but the FREQUENCY does NOT. Fr Frequency depends on the oscillating source! long wavelengths R.O.Y. G. B.I.V short wavelengths

58 Why does Violet Light bend more than Red Light? Violet light slows down more because the atoms in the material are tuned to higher frequencies. As the violet light travels through glass it takes more time to be absorbed and re-emitted.

59 Variation of Index of Refraction with Wavelength n sp e e d o f lig h t in a v a cu u m c sp e e d o f lig h t in a m e d iu m v This dependence of n on λ is called dispersion The index of refraction for a material generally decreases with increasing wavelength Violet light bends more than red light when passing into a refracting material λ λ n

60 Refraction in a Prism Since all the colors have different angles of deviation, white light will spread out into a spectrum. Violet deviates the most. Red deviates the least. The remaining colors are in between. Section 35.7

61 Compare: Dispersion via Diffraction and Refraction

62 Why does Violet Light bend more than Red Light? Violet light slows down more because the atoms in the material are tuned to higher frequencies. As the violet light travels through glass it takes more time to be absorbed and re-emitted.

63 Since all the colors have different angles of deviation, white light will spread out into a spectrum Violet deviates the most Red deviates the least The remaining colors are in between Angle of Deviation

64 Dispersion Sample Problem The index of refraction for violet light in silica flint glass is 1.66, and that for red light is What is the angular dispersion of visible light passing through a prism of apex angle 60.0 if the angle of incidence is 50.0? red (660 nm) violet (410 nm) Use Snell s Law twice and some geometry! Angles are always measured from the normal. n sin n sin

65 How are Rainbows Formed?

66 Dispersion: Raindrops Act like Prisms A ray of light strikes a drop of water in the atmosphere It undergoes both reflection and refraction First refraction at the front of the drop Violet light will deviate the most Red light will deviate the least

67 At the back surface the light is reflected It is refracted again as it returns to the front surface and moves into the air The rays leave the drop at various angles The angle between the white light and the most intense violet ray is 40 The angle between the white light and the most intense red ray is 42 The Rainbow

68 Observing the Rainbow If a raindrop high in the sky is observed, the red ray is seen A drop lower in the sky would direct violet light to the observer The other colors of the spectra lie in between the red and the violet

69 The droplets form a circular arc, with each droplet within the arc dispersing light and reflecting it back towards the observer with the greatest concentration of outgoing rays found at these degree angles of deviation. Every droplet within the arc is refracting and dispersing the entire visible light spectrum (ROYGBIV).

70 Rainbow facts an observer is in a position to see only a single color from any one droplet of water. your rainbow is slightly different from the rainbow seen by others your rainbow moves with you disk within the bow is brighter because of overlapping of multiple refractions (which don t occur outside the disk)

71 A line drawn from your eye to the top of the rainbow forms a 42- degree angle with the imaginary line from the sun through your eye. (If there is a secondary rainbow, it forms an angle of 51- degrees). Because these angles determine the position of the rainbow in the sky, it will sink as the sun rises and rise as the sun sinks. At some points, the entire rainbow, not just the bottom half, will be below the horizon where you can't see it. That's why you'll never see a summer rainbow at midday.

72

73 The secondary rainbow is fainter than the primary The secondary rainbow arises from light that makes two reflections from the interior surface before exiting the raindrop Higher-order rainbows are possible, but their intensity is low Double Rainbow

74 Halos are caused by the light of the sun or moon passing through a very thin layer of cirruform (ice-crystal) clouds in the upper atmosphere. The ice crystals refract the light of the moon, similar to the way water droplets in the lower atmosphere can refract sunlight to produce a rainbow. Just like a rainbow, strong halos can have bands of color in them, due to slightly different refractive properties of the ice crystals for different colors. Essentially, halos ARE rainbows caused by primary refraction in ice crystals. Some interesting facts about halos: Halos always occur exactly 22 degrees away from the sun or moon. Occasionally, intense halos can be double halos, just as intense rainbows can be doubled. Intense halos can also produce "moondogs" or "sundogs," very bright regions on the halo evenly spaced at 90 degree intervals around the halo.

75 Colored Filters and Colored Objects Green glass is green because it absorbs any light that is not green. If a green filter and a red filter are overlapped, no light gets through. The green filter transmits only green light, which is then absorbed by the red filter because it is not red Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 23-83

76 Colored Filters and Colored Objects The figure below shows the absorption curve of chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis in green plants. The chemical reactions of photosynthesis absorb red light and blue/violet light from sunlight and puts it to use. When you look at the green leaves on a tree, you re seeing the light that was reflected because it wasn t needed for photosynthesis Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 23-84

77 Light Scattering: Blue Skies and Red Sunsets Rayleigh scattering 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

78 Light Scattering: Blue Skies and Red Sunsets Light can scatter from small particles that are suspended in a medium. Rayleigh scattering from atoms and molecules depends inversely on the fourth power of the wavelength: I scattered Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 23-85

79 Light Scattering: Blue Skies and Red Sunsets Sunsets are red because all the blue light has scattered as the sunlight passes through the atmosphere Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 23-86

80 Galileo In the early 17th century, many scientists believed that there was no such thing as the "speed of light"; they thought light could travel any distance in no time at all. Galileo disagreed, and he came up with an experiment to measure light's velocity: he and his assistant each took a shuttered lantern, and they stood on hilltops one mile apart. Galileo flashed his lantern, and the assistant was supposed to open the shutter to his own lantern as soon as he saw Galileo's light. Galileo would then time how long it took before he saw the light from the other hilltop. The problem was that the speed of light is simply too fast to be measured this way; light takes such a short time (about seconds, in fact) to travel one mile that there's no way the interval could have been measured using the tools Galileo had.

81 The Speed of Light? 186,000 miles per second 300,000 kilometers per second 3 x 10 8 m/s first successfully determined by Danish astronomer Ole Roemer in 1675: 2.3 x 10 8 m/s First Terrestrial Measurement by Fizeau in 1849: x 10 8 m/s In 1926, Michelson used a rotating prism to measure the time it took light to make a round trip from Mount Wilson to Mount San Antonio in California, a distance of about 22 miles (36 km). The precise measurements yielded a speed of 186,285 miles per second (299,796 kilometres per second).

82 Lenses and Mirrors Image Formation

83 Why aren t images of objects produced on the wall without a lens or hole?

84 Why aren t images of objects produced on the wall without a lens or hole?

85 Images Image formation is a consequence of light traveling in straight lines The first camera the pinhole camera illustrates this fact.

86 Apertures A camera obscura is a darkened room with a single, small hole, called an aperture. The geometry of the rays causes the image to be upside down. The object and image heights are related by: 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 23-26

92 Lenses A lens nicely bends the straight-line paths of light.

93 Real and Virtual Images Real images can be displayed on screens Virtual Images can not be displayed onto screens.

94 Lenses Lenses two common types converging (convex) lens thicker at the center than edges converges light diverging (concave) lens thinner at the center than edges diverges light

96 Concave vs Convex

97 Focal Length: Where Parallel rays come to a focus

98 Lenses The photos below show parallel light rays entering two different lenses. The left lens, called a converging lens, causes the rays to refract toward the optical axis. The right lens, called a diverging lens, refracts parallel rays away from the optical axis. Slide 23-87

105 Thin Lenses: Ray Tracing Rays from an object point P are refracted by the lens and converge to a real image at point P. Slide 23-95

106 Lenses In an actual lens, rays refract twice, at spherical surfaces having radii of curvature R 1 and R 2. Slide

107 Lenses Key features of lenses principal axis line joining the centers of curvature of the two lens surfaces focal point point at which all the light rays come together focal length distance between the center of the lens and either focal point

108 Notation for Mirrors and Lenses The object distance is the distance from the object to the mirror or lens: Denoted by p The image distance is the distance from the image to the mirror or lens: Denoted by q The lateral magnification of the mirror or lens is the ratio of the image height to the object height Denoted by M The focal point: f The radius of curvature: R = 2f M Image height Object height h' h p q R f FRONT is on the same side as the object and BACK is the other side! The Principal axis goes through the focal point and the center of curvature of the lens or mirror!!

111 The Thin Lens Equation The object distance s is related to the image distance s by: where f is the focal length of the lens, which can be found from: where R 1 is the radius of curvature of the first surface, and R 2 is the radius of curvature of the second surface, and the material surrounding the lens has n = Pearson Education, Inc.

129 Flat Mirrors Make Virtual Images Virtual Image: An image that cannot be projected onto a surface. A virtual image only appears like light rays came from the location of the image, they are not really there. Flat mirrors make Virtual Images.

130 Images Formed by Flat Mirrors Light rays leave the source and are reflected from the mirror Images are always located by extending diverging rays back to a point at which they intersect One ray starts at point P, travels to Q and reflects back on itself Another ray follows the path PR and reflects according to the law of reflection h = h for all images Flat mirrors make virtual images

131 Reversals in a Flat Mirror A flat mirror produces an image that has an apparent left-right reversal For example, if you raise your right hand the image you see raises its left hand

132 Properties of the Image Formed by a Flat Mirror Summary The image is as far behind the mirror as the object is in front p = q The image is unmagnified The image height is the same as the object height h = h and M = 1 The image is virtual The image is upright It has the same orientation as the object There is a front-back reversal in the image

134 Focal Length& Radius of Curvature When the object is very far away, then p and the incoming rays are essentially parallel In this special case, the image point is called the focal point The distance from the mirror to the focal point is called the focal length The focal length is ½ the radius of curvature R = 2f

135 Lateral Magnification M Image height Object height h' h Magnification does not always mean bigger, the size can either increase or decrease. M>1: Increase Positive: Upright M<1: Decrease Negative: Inverted

136 Ray Diagrams:Concave Mirrors Ray 1 is drawn from the top of the object parallel to the principal axis and is reflected through the focal point, F Ray 2 is drawn from the top of the object through the focal point and is reflected parallel to the principal axis Ray 3 is drawn through the center of curvature, C, and is reflected back on itself The intersection of any two of the rays at a point locates the image. The third ray serves as a check of the construction

137 Concave Mirror, p > R The center of curvature is between the object and the concave mirror surface (f >0) The image is real (q>0) The image is inverted (M<0) The image is smaller than the object (absm<1) p q R f

161 Lateral Magnification The image can be either larger or smaller than the object, depending on the location and focal length of the lens. The lateral magnification m is defined as: A positive value of m indicates that the image is upright relative to the object. A negative value of m indicates that the image is inverted relative to the object. The absolute value of m gives the size ratio of the image and object: h /h m. Slide

162 Virtual Images Consider a converging lens for which the object is inside the focal point, at distance s < f. You can see all three rays appear to diverge from point P. Point P is an upright, virtual image of the object point P. Slide

163 Virtual Images You can see a virtual image by looking through the lens. This is exactly what you do with a magnifying glass, microscope or binoculars. Slide
