Guiding Questions for Objective 7 How do you draw a ray diagram of refracting light? What parts need to be labeled? What are the differences between an incident ray, a reflected ray, and a refracted ray? What does Snell's Law tell you about the incident and reflected ray? How do you objects look different when looking through a concave lens versus a convex lens? Why?
Drawing Ray Diagrams An arrow is used to show the path the light takes An arrow is used to show the path the light takes Light will move in a straight line unless it bumps into something Light will move in a straight line unless it bumps into something A medium is any material light travels through A medium is any material light travels through How are these the same as force diagrams?
Reflection – when light bounces off an object Light reflects off a surface at the same angle light hits the surface oxC9l_u50 Qr8exoX-uE0&feature=related
Snell’s Law??? Willebrord Snellius ( ) Dutch astronomer and mathematician Found a new method to calculate the radius of the Earth Ibn Sahl ( ابن سهل ) ( ) Persian mathematician, physicist, and optics engineer. Actually derived the law of refraction/reflection
Concave – opens like a cave Convex
Refraction - light bends going from one medium to another medium
Anatomy of Refracted Light interface
Why does light bend?? Light changes speed: slows down or speeds up. Why does light change speed? Why does light bend? watch?v=y55tzg_jW9I
Concave Convex
