How the phenomenon occurs? Why light is refracted?. Light travel from..medium which is air to.(water), light will be deviated.to the normal. Thus the spoon seems like bending after putting inside the water. It due to change in the of light as it passes from one medium into another. Light travel more in water (or glass) than in air. When a light beam passes from air into glass, one side of the beam is slowed before the other. This makes the beam. Three different cases of refraction Case 1: i = 0,r = 0 Case 2: i > r Case 3: i < r 5-9

10 Physics Module Form 4 Chapter 5 - Light GCKL 2010 When a ray of light crosses the boundry between two different mediums at a right angle or the incident ray..to normal, the ray is but the speed of light is. The angles of incidence and refraction are. Ray is light passes from air(less dense) to glass(denser). ray is bent... the normal the speed of light after entering the glass Ray of light passes from glass(dense) to air(less dense) ray bent..from the normal the speed of light. after emerging from the glass. State the Laws of Refraction The Laws Of Refraction When the light travel from one medium to another medium which has a different optical density: 1. Refractive Index When light travels between two mediums with different optical densities, it changes speed and bends. The speed of light will decrease when it enters an optically denser medium and increases when it enters an optically less dense medium. 3. The angle of bending of light depends on the refractive index of the mediums and the angle of incidence,i. How to define refractive index Refractive index, n is defined as, n = sin i sin r Example: The diagram shows a ray of light passing from air to the block X. where n = Refractive index i = the angle in medium less dense r = the angle in denser medium A material with a higher refractive index has a higher density. The value of refractive index, n 1 The refractive index has no units Calculate the refractive index of the block X. Solution: n = sin 50 sin 40 = 2

11 Physics Module Form 4 Chapter 5 - Light GCKL 2010 Example: n = speed of light in vacuum (air) speed of light in medium The speed of light in vacuum is 3 x 10 8 ms -1 and the speed of light in glass is 2 x 10 8 ms -1. Determine the refractive index of glass. Solution: n = 3 x 10 8 ms -1 2 x 10 8 ms -1 = 5 3.Real Depth and Apparent Depth The refraction of light gives us a false impression of depth. Example: A) The fish in the pond appears to be closer to the surface than it actually is. n = Real depth, H Apparent depth, h The following terms are defined: Real depth,h = The distance of the real O from the surface of the water. (B) The apparent depth a swimming pool looks shallower than it really is. Apparent depth, h= The distance of the..i from the surface of the water. 5-11

20 5.3 UNDERSTANDING TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION What is meant by total internal reflection? What is meant by critical angle,c? Total internal reflection is the complete reflection of light ray travelling from a to a...medium. Total: because 100% of light is reflected Internal: because it happens inside the glass or denser medium. The critical angle, c, is defined as the angle of incidence (in the denser medium) when the angle of refraction (in the denser medium), r is 90. What are the relationship between the critical angle and total internal reflection? 5-20

21 State the two conditions for total internal reflection to occur When the angle of incidence, i keeps on increasing, r too increases And the refracted ray moves further away from the normal And thus approaches the glass- air boundary. The refracted ray travels along the glass-air boundary. Angle of refraction, r = 90. This is the limit of the light ray that can be refracted in air as the refracted in air cannot be any larger than 90. The angle of incidence in the denser medium at the limit is called the critical angle, c. If the angle of incidence is increased is increased further so that it is greater than the critical angle, (i > c): - no refraction - all the light is totally in the glass This phenomenon is called total internal reflection. What are the relationship between the refractive index, n and critical angle, c? What are the phenomena involving total internal reflection? Mirage In hot days, a person traveling in a car will see an imaginary pool of water appearing on the surface of the road The layes higher up are cooler and denser. Light ray from the sky travels from denser to less dense medium and will refracted away from the normal.

22 The angle of incidence increases until it reach an angle greater than the critical angle. Total internal reflection occurs and the light is reflected towards the aye of the observer. If the observer s eye is in the correct position, he will see a pool of water(image of the sky) appearing on the road surface. This is known as a mirage. Rainbow When sunlight shines on millions of water droplets in the air after rain, a multi coloured arc can be seen. When white light from the sun enters the raindrops, it is refracted and dispersed into its various colour components inside the raindrops. When the dispersed light hit the back of the raindrop, it undergoes total internal reflection. It is then refracted again as it leaves the drop. The colours of a rainbow run from violet along the lower part of the spectrum to red along the upper part. 5-22

23 Give some examples of application of total internal reflection. The sparkling of a diamond A diamond has a high refractive index. The higher the refractive index, the smaller the critical angle. A small critical angle means total internal reflection readily occurs. Light is easily reflected inside the diamond. In this way, more light will be confined within the diamond before refracting out into the air. Periscope The periscope is built using two right angled 45 made of glass. The critical angle of the prism is 42. The angle of incidence is 45 which is greater than the critical angle. Total internal reflection occurs. The characteristics of the image are: Virtual, upright, same size. Give the advantages of the prism periscope compared to mirror periscope. Answer:

24 3. Prism Binocular A light ray experiences two total internal reflections at each prism. So the final image in binoculars is virtual, upright and same size. What are the benefits of using prism in binoculars? 4. Optical Fibres The external wall of a fibre optic is less dense than the internal wall. When light rays travel from a denser internal wall to a less dense external walls at an angle greater than the critical angle, total internal reflection occurs. Give the advantage of using optical fibres cables over copper cables
