Geometrical optics describes the laws of reflection and refraction of light. When light travels from one medium to another, it can be reflected, refracted, scattered, or absorbed at the interface. Reflection follows the law that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Refraction is described by Snell's law, which relates the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction to the refractive indices of the media. The bending of light occurs due to changes in speed as it passes between materials of different refractive indices. Prisms are used to demonstrate refraction and dispersion of light into its component wavelengths.
Light can be thought of as travelling in rays that change direction through reflection and refraction. Reflection occurs when light strikes a surface, following the laws that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Refraction occurs when light passes from one medium to another of different density, bending according to Snell's law that relates the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction through the refractive indices. The refractive index quantifies how much light slows down in a medium relative to a vacuum. Common refractive indices include air as 1, water as 1.33 and glass around 1.5.
Geometrical optics is the study of how light interacts with materials and their shapes. Light rays reflect off surfaces according to the law of reflection, where the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another and its speed changes, causing it to change direction. Snell's law describes the relationship between the refractive indices and angles of incidence and refraction between two media. Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from an optically dense to a less dense medium at an angle greater than the critical angle, and the light is fully reflected back into the first medium.
This document discusses several optical phenomena including pinhole imaging, reflection, refraction, and total internal reflection. It begins by explaining how pinhole imaging works to form an inverted image without the use of lenses due to the collimating effect of a small aperture. Next, it covers the fundamentals of reflection including the law of reflection and diffuse reflection. Refraction is then summarized, including Snell's law and how light bends when passing through different media based on their refractive indices. Finally, the document briefly discusses the phenomenon of total internal reflection that occurs when light passes from an optically dense to rare medium at an angle greater than the critical angle.
The document summarizes the ray model of light, which describes light traveling in straight lines called rays. It discusses how light rays change direction upon reflection off surfaces or when passing between materials with different refractive indices. This redirection of light rays is governed by two laws: the law of reflection, which states that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence, and Snell's law of refraction, which relates the refractive indices of materials to how much a light ray bends when passing between them. Total internal reflection can occur when light passes from a higher to lower refractive index material at an angle greater than the critical angle, causing all the light to be reflected back into the first material.

1) Light bends when moving between materials with different densities, called refraction.
2) The degree that light bends depends on the change in speed according to Snell's law, which relates the angle of incidence and refraction based on the refractive indices of the materials.
3) Higher refractive index means lower speed of light, so light bends more when moving from lower to higher indices.
The document discusses the principles of light propagation in optical fibers, including total internal reflection. It explains that total internal reflection occurs when light travels from a higher density medium to a lower density medium at an angle greater than the critical angle. This causes the light ray to reflect back into the first medium rather than refracting into the second. Total internal reflection is the mechanism that allows light to propagate along the length of an optical fiber with little loss of intensity.
This document provides a summary of key concepts in reflection and refraction of light:
- Light was originally thought to consist of particles (1000 AD) but was later explained as a wave by Huygens in the 1600s and Maxwell in 1865. Planck later showed it has particle-like properties as well.
- Reflection follows the law that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Refraction follows Snell's law, which relates the indices of refraction and angles of the materials. Dispersion is the dependence of the index of refraction on wavelength.

This document discusses refraction through a rectangular glass slab and the refractive index. It begins by defining refraction as the change in direction of a wave when passing from one medium to another. It then explains Snell's law, which relates the angles of incidence and refraction. The refractive index is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium. Examples of refraction in everyday life are given, as well as the history and uses of the refractive index. An experiment is described to measure the angles of incidence, refraction, and emergence using a glass slab.
Refraction and Snell's Law describes how light bends when passing from one medium to another due to a change in speed. Refraction occurs at the boundary between two media, with the incident ray entering the first medium at an angle of incidence, and the refracted ray exiting the second medium at an angle of refraction. Snell's law states that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction is equal to the ratio of the indices of refraction of the two media. This relationship is written as an equation that can be used to calculate angles of refraction based on the incident angle and refractive indices. Each material has its own index of refraction value that determines how much light will bend when

This document summarizes key concepts in optics and lasers. It discusses how optics studies light and its interactions with matter. It then covers the nature of light, including reflection, refraction, Snell's law, total internal reflection, and fiber optics.

Refraction is the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another due to a change in its speed. When light travels from one medium to another at an angle, it bends and experiences lateral shift. Lateral shift is the perpendicular distance between the incident and emergent rays and depends on factors like the thickness and refractive index of the medium, as well as the angle of incidence. Snell's law relates the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction to the refractive indices of the media and can be used to calculate lateral shift experimentally.

Lights and Optics - reflection, refraction and dispersion of lightButterflyWaltz
油
Light can be defined as electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, but also includes radiation with frequencies above and below the visible spectrum. Many properties of light can be explained by the wave theory that describes light as a transverse wave with electrical and magnetic properties. The speed of light varies when passing through different materials, which can be explained by this wave theory.
Refraction occurs when light passes from one medium to another and changes speed, causing it to bend at the boundary. The amount of bending depends on the difference in speed of light in the two media, with more bending occurring when there is a greater difference in speed. Snell's law can be used to calculate the angle of refraction given the angle of incidence and the indices of refraction of the two media.
Light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye. It travels in straight lines called rays. Reflection is when light bounces off a surface, following the laws that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection and that the incident, normal, and reflected rays lie in the same plane. Refraction is when light changes speed and direction as it passes from one medium to another due to the different refractive indices, following Snell's law. Total internal reflection occurs when light cannot pass from an optically denser medium to a less dense one if the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle.

2. OBJECTIVE
Define refraction
Definition of refractive Index
Defining Snells Law
Understand refractive index
Recognizing situations where
refraction will occur.
Identify which direction light
will bent when it passes from
one medium to another.
Calculating refracted ray,
incident ray, angle of incident
or angle of refraction
4. INTRODUCTION
Everyday life situation that involve
refraction of light.
What happens when light passes from one
medium to another.
How the direction of light as it passes from
one medium to another is associated with
a change in velocity and wavelength and
frequency.
5. REFRACTION
Refraction occurs at the boundary of two
media when light travels from one
medium into the other and its speed
changes, but its frequency remains the
same. If the light ray hits the boundary at
an angle which is not perpendicular to or
parallel to the surface, then it will
change direction and appear to bend.
6. DEMONSTATION OF REFRACTION
The picture shows two mediums
which is water and air.
When the person looks in the
water, she see the image of chest
not the actual chest.
It appears to bend due to
refraction.
7. REFRACTIVE INDEX
The refractive index (symbol n) of a material is the ratio of the speed of light in a
vacuum to its speed in the material and gives an indication of how difficult it is for
light to get through the material.
where n = c/v
n = refractive index (no unit)
c = speed of light in a vacuum (3,00 108 m揃s1)
v = speed of light in a given medium (m揃s1)
8. TABLE OF REFRACTIVE INDEX
1. Each medium has its own
Constant refractive index as shown in
the picture.
2. Each refractive index is used to
calculate the speed of light in that
given medium.
9. REPRESENTING
REFRACTION WITH
RAY DIAGRAMS
Normal
The normal to a surface is the line which is
perpendicular to the plane of the surface.
Angle of incidence
The angle of incidence is the angle defined
between the normal to a surface and the
incoming (incident) light ray.
Angle of refraction
The angle of refraction is the angle defined
between the normal to a surface and the
refracted light ray.
10. SNELLS LAW
There is a relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction of the
indexes of refraction of 2 medium (n).
Snells law applies to refraction of light in any situation regardless of the
media.
n1= refractive index of medium 1
n2= refractive index of medium 2
11. Ray reflecting between two
medium
1. A ray entering a material of larger index bends towards the normal.
2. A ray entering a material of smaller index bends away from the normal.
3. A ray oriented perpendicular to a surface does not bends, regardless of the
materials.
