Reflection and Refraction
Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Reflection and Refraction
3
1. REFLECTION Most objects we see reflect light.
4
2. PRINCIPLE OF LEAST TIME
Fermat's principle: Light travels in straight lines and will take the path of least time.
5
Fermat says take this path.
6
3. LAW OF REFLECTION Using Fermat's principle one can show the law of reflection. A B 1 5 2 4 3 Mirror
7
The law of reflection states that
the angle of incidence (qi) equals the angle of reflection (qr). This is true for specular reflection. (Specular reflection is “mirror-like” reflection.)
8
Normal Incident Ray Reflected Ray qi qr Specular Reflecting Surface Included in the law of reflection is the fact that the incident ray, the normal, and the reflected ray all lie in the same plane.

Plane Mirrors Using ray diagramming one finds that the image is
1. Upright 2. Same size as the object 3. Virtual
13
Diffuse Reflection Video - Diffuse Reflection
If successive elevations of a surface are no more than l/8 apart, then the surface is said to be polished at that wavelength. Most objects are seen by diffuse reflection.
14
Diffuse Reflection Magnification of a surface
Colored lines are for the purpose of distinguishing reflected rays from incident rays.
15
Something that is barely polished for red light would not be polished for blue light.
Consider microwave satellite dishes. They are polished for microwaves but not for visible. The metal screen in a microwave oven serves what purpose?

Demo - Coin Mirage Demo – Deep Concave Mirror Demo - Make-up Mirror Images Concave mirrors can produce real inverted images that are magnified, diminished, or the same size as the object. Concave mirrors can produce virtual upright images that are magnified.
19
More on Mirrors Convex mirrors always produce a diminished, upright, virtual image. Demo - Convex Mirror Demo - Two Perpendicular Mirrors Demo - Three Perpendicular Mirrors Demo – Road Reflectors Question - Why is it hard to see at night after or during a rain?

Chapter 28 Review Questions
21
What type of mirror would you use to produce a magnified image of your face?
(a) flat (b) concave (c) convex (d) you could use a concave or a convex mirror
22
What is (are) the purpose(s) of the wire screen in the door of a microwave oven?
(a) to absorb microwaves (b) to allow you to see what's cooking (c) to reflect microwaves (d) all of the above (e) only (b) and (c)
23
4. REFRACTION Fermat's principle can also explain refraction (remember the beach). Refraction of light is the bending of light as it passes obliquely from one medium to another. It is due to the different speeds of light in the two different media.
24
Index of Refraction Index of refraction of a material equals
the speed of light in a vacuum divided by the speed of light in the material.

we have lingering, elliptical sunsets. Sun Earth Sun

Chapter 28 Review Question
31
An oar partially immersed in water appears "broken" because of
(a) refraction (b) diffraction (c) polarization (d) interference (e) absorption
32
5. CAUSE OF REFRACTION When light passes from one medium to another, its speed changes which in turn causes a bending of the light. Examples: Car running onto shoulder of road Light passing from air into water
33
Wave fronts of light qi Air Water qR
34
This bending produces illusions.
Example: Objects in water appear closer and nearer to the surface. Eye Air Water

Fish can see everything above the surface of water within a 960 cone.

Demo - Disappearing Pyrex
39
Dispersion Different frequencies are bent different amounts which causes a separation of white light into its constituent colors. This is the basic principle behind the operation of a prism. We say that a prism disperses the light. The higher frequencies interact most (slow down the most) and thus are bent the most. Demo - Aquarium Prism

Picture - Rainbow Individual drops act as dispersers. The 42o cone Demo – Rainbow Model A single eye can only see a small range of colors from a single raindrop.
43
Secondary Rainbow Double rainbows are dimmer, higher, and have colors reversed. Link to picture.
44
Green Flash Sun Earth Dispersion occurs causing
multiple images of the sun. The last to set would be blue, but most of the blue has been scattered which leaves green.
45
6. TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION
Video - Laser Under Water Critical angle is the angle where total internal reflection (TIR) begins. TIR is possible only when light is entering a medium of lesser index of refraction. Binoculars make use of TIR.
