Term to know: electromagnetic pectrum, diffue reflection, regular reflection, refraction, index of refraction, Snell Law, total internal reflection, critical angle, diperion, monochromatic, interference, diffraction, diffraction grating, Young Double-Slit Diffraction Experiment, 3. Which color of light ha the highet frequency? Highet wavelength? Highet peed? Violet = high frequency Red = high wavelength All have ame peed 4. Which type of electromagnetic radiation ha the highet frequency? Highet wavelength? Highet peed? Gamma = high frequency Radio = high wavelength All have ame peed 5. How do fiber optic cable work? Platic or gla that ue total internal reflection to contain the information within the cable a it move 6. What i diperion? What caue it? Give an example. Diperion i when white light i eparated into different color after traveling through a ubtance with an index of refraction higher than air. The different color travel at different peed and are eparated. 7. Which color of light low down the mot when white light hine through a gla prim? Which color bend the mot from it traight-line path? Violet low the down the mot, cauing it to bend the mot 8. When a ray of light pae from a high index to a low index ubtance, which way will the ray bend? From a low index to a high index? High to low = low to fat = bend away Low to high = fat to low = bend toward 9. Why do light ray bend when they enter a ubtance? The light wave are lowed down by the different medium index of refraction. 10. Under what two condition will a light ray not bend? They will not bend if they enter at 0 0 or if the medium ha the ame index of refraction a the one the light jut left 11. What i the Law of Reflection? Snell Law? Reflection = Incident angle = reflected angle Snell = n1 inθ1 = n inθ 1. What i total internal reflection? When will it occur?
