This document discusses total internal reflection and its applications. Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from an optically denser medium to a less dense medium at an angle greater than the critical angle, causing the entire light ray to be reflected back into the denser medium. This phenomenon is used in applications like mirages, optical fibers, and cutting diamonds to maximize their brilliance. Optical fibers use total internal reflection to transmit light along their length, and the facet cuts of diamonds are designed to produce total internal reflection and make the diamond sparkle.

This document discusses total internal reflection and some of its applications. Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from an optically denser medium to a less dense medium at an angle greater than the critical angle, causing the entire light ray to be reflected back into the denser medium. This phenomenon is used to create mirages by light rays curving downward in air of varying densities near the ground. Optical fibers are also able to transmit light along their length due to total internal reflection of light off the fiber walls. Cut diamonds are designed to take advantage of total internal reflection to reflect light internally and appear brilliant.critical angle and total internal reflection

This document discusses the principles and phenomena of diffraction. It begins by defining diffraction as the deviation of light from rectilinear propagation that occurs when a portion of a wavefront is obstructed. The Huygens-Fresnel principle is introduced, which states that every point on a wavefront acts as a secondary source of spherical wavelets. Diffraction patterns can be classified as either Fraunhofer or Fresnel diffraction depending on the separation between the aperture and viewing screen. Examples of diffraction from single slits, circular apertures, and double slits are analyzed. Rayleigh's criterion for resolving power with rectangular apertures is also described.PPT on refraction and lenses by pg

This document discusses refraction and lenses. It begins by explaining that refraction occurs when light passes from one medium to another, causing its velocity and path to change. It then discusses how lenses work, noting that there are two basic types: convex and concave lenses. Convex lenses converge light rays to a focal point, while concave lenses diverge light rays. The document provides examples of how light rays behave when passing through lenses and the characteristics of images formed, such as location, size, and orientation. It concludes by introducing the lens formula, which relates the focal length, object distance, and image distance.optics mirrors_and_lenses (1)

Mirrors and lenses reflect and refract light to form real or virtual images. Reflection off flat surfaces follows the law that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Concave mirrors can form real or virtual images depending on the position of the object. Convex lenses diverge light rays to form reduced virtual images, while concave lenses converge light to form real images that can be magnified or reduced. The eye focuses light using a convex lens, and conditions like nearsightedness and farsightedness occur when the eye is too long or short.3 Total Internal Reflection

Total internal reflection of light occurs when light travels from a denser medium to a less dense medium and the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle. The critical angle is the angle of incidence in the denser medium when the angle of refraction in the less dense medium is 90 degrees.Refraction of light
Refraction of lightWAYNE FERNANDES

Refraction is the change in direction of light when it passes from one medium to another. Light bends towards the normal when traveling from a less dense to a more dense medium, and away from the normal in the opposite case. The ratio of sines of the angle of incidence and refraction is a constant called the refractive index, which depends on the optical densities of the media. Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from a denser to a less dense medium at an angle greater than the critical angle.Lenses and and the parts

Light is electromagnetic radiation that travels at about 300,000 km/s. It can be emitted from luminous objects like stars or reflected from illuminated objects like the moon. Light carries energy and information, travels in straight lines, and can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed when interacting with objects. The human eye detects light via photoreceptors in the retina that send signals to the brain, allowing us to see color.Basics of Light, Refraction and Optics
Basics of Light, Refraction and OpticsKopp Glass, Inc.
油
Light is visible electromagnetic radiation that travels in packets called photons. It can come from natural sources like the sun or artificial sources like light bulbs. Refraction is when light changes speed and direction as it passes from one medium to another, like from water to air, causing objects to appear bent. The refractive index measures how much light slows down in a medium and is used to describe materials like glass. Optics is the study of light and its interactions with lenses and other components, which can be used to focus, spread, or diffuse light through different lens shapes like concave, convex, plano, and Fresnel lenses.Total Internal Reflection and Critical Angle
Total Internal Reflection and Critical AngleAmit Raikar

This document discusses total internal reflection and the critical angle. It defines refractive index as the ratio of light speed in a vacuum to light speed in a medium. When light passes from one medium to another of different density, refraction occurs. As the angle of incidence increases, so does the angle of refraction, until reaching the critical angle. At the critical angle, the light ray follows the surface instead of entering the second medium. Above the critical angle, total internal reflection occurs and the light is reflected back into the first medium. Total internal reflection and critical angles depend on the refractive indices of the materials, and have applications in fiber optics, prisms, periscopes, and more.Ppt

Interference occurs when two or more waves pass through the same space and can be constructive or destructive. Constructive interference occurs when waves are in phase and amplitudes add, while destructive interference occurs when waves are out of phase and amplitudes cancel. Light interference can be observed using Young's double slit experiment, which uses a coherent monochromatic light source like a laser. The experiment produces bright and dark interference fringes that can be used to determine wavelength according to the equation dsin慮=m了. Diffraction gratings produce sharper interference patterns than double slits and allow measuring the wavelengths of light in a spectrum.The telescope (reflecting & refracting)

The document discusses two main types of telescopes - refracting and reflecting. A refracting telescope uses two lenses, a large objective lens that collects light and forms a real image, and an eyepiece lens that magnifies this image for viewing. A reflecting telescope uses a concave mirror instead of an objective lens, collecting light via reflection rather than refraction. Reflecting telescopes are commonly used for large astronomical telescopes as mirrors can be made larger than lenses. interference & diffraction

For thin films of uniform thickness, the conditions for constructive and destructive interference are derived based on the total path difference being equal to integral or half-integral multiples of wavelength. For wedge-shaped thin films of non-uniform thickness, the optical path difference expression is derived and the conditions for bright and dark fringes are obtained.

Refraction is the bending of light when passing from one medium to another. It occurs because the speed of light is decreased in denser mediums, causing the light's path to bend toward the normal. Snell's law describes the mathematical relationship between the angle of incidence and angle of refraction, stating that for two mediums, the ratio of sines of the incidence and refraction angles is equal to the ratio of the indexes of refraction. The index of refraction is a number that represents how much a medium slows light down relative to a vacuum.Polarisation

Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from an optically dense medium to a less dense medium and the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle. At the critical angle, the refracted ray travels along the surface of the dense medium. If the incident ray exceeds the critical angle, total internal reflection occurs and the light ray is reflected back into the dense medium rather than refracting into the less dense medium. Mirages can form due to both total internal reflection and refraction as light passes through layers of air with different densities.

Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from an optically denser medium to a less dense one at an angle of incidence greater than the critical angle. The critical angle is the angle at which the refracted ray travels parallel to the interface between the two media. When the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle, the light ray is fully reflected back into the denser medium rather than refracting into the less dense medium. This phenomenon of total internal reflection is used in applications like fiber optics, periscopes, and binoculars.BUILDING SERVICES - LIGHTING.pdf

Optical fibers transmit light through the phenomenon of total internal reflection. Light rays entering the core at an angle greater than the critical angle will be totally internally reflected at the core-cladding interface and emerge from the other end. The core has a higher refractive index than the cladding to ensure total internal reflection. During propagation, light signals degrade due to impurities in the glass core and cladding, causing attenuation. Key terms include critical angle, angle of acceptance, and fiber attenuation.REFRACTION OF LIGHT

- 6. When angle of incidence becomes greater than critical angle the incident ray is totally reflected
- 7. Total internal reflection When a ray of light travels from denser medium to rarer medium ,if the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle the entire ray is reflected into the same medium by obeying the laws of reflection . Conditions for total internal reflection Light must travel from denser medium to rarer medium The angle of incidence must be greater than the critical angle
- 9. Mirage The optical illusion due to total internal reflection On sunny days the air near the ground is cooler than that higher up The light rays curve downward, producing a superior image
- 10. Optical fiber Thin hair like structure Light enters one end of the wall of the fiber strikes at less than critical angle Light undergoes repeated total internal reflection Light emerges through the other end of fiber
- 11. Diamond The critical angle of diamond is very small The cut of diamond favors total internal reflection Rays entering the top of diamond reflects internally
