Bell Task Refraction is the bending of light. When do you see this in real life? CLUE: Whenever you see light come though something transparent but it isn't exactly what is on the other side you are probably seeing refraction.

Starter Why does the pencil appear bent in the water?

Starter The pencil appears bent because light travels at different speeds in different materials. This causes the light to bend/refract. Refraction is the change in the direction of light.

Main - How to draw refraction diagrams Draw around your glass/perspex block in the middle of your page.

Main - How to draw refraction diagrams Choose where you will shine your ray of light and draw on your normal. normal

Main - How to draw refraction diagrams Draw your incident ray with a ruler and pencil. incident ray normal

Main - How to draw refraction diagrams Shine the laser/ray though the block and mark where it emerges and one other point on the ray incident ray normal x x

Main - How to draw refraction diagrams incident ray normal x Then move the block away and join up your points to show the emerging ray x

Main - How to draw refraction diagrams incident ray normal x You can then work out the path through the block that the light must have taken and join up your first two lines Then draw a normal where the line leaves the block. x

Main - Law of Refraction We can predict which way light will refract. x AIR When light moves from a less dense medium to a more dense medium it bends towards the normal. Like here This happens because the air is less dense than the glass. GLASS

Main - Law of Refraction We can predict which way light will refract. x When light moves from a MORE dense medium to a LESS dense medium it bends away from the normal. Like here This happens because the air is less dense than the glass. GLASS AIR

Main - Law of Refraction x Main - Law of Refraction Here the red line represents where the light would go if the glass wasn’t there. Refraction means the ray bends towards the normal in the block so the orange ray is closer to the normal than the red. AIR GLASS

Many visual effects are caused by refraction. Plenary Many visual effects are caused by refraction. This ruler appears bent because the light from one end of the ruler has been diffracted, but light from the other end has travelled in a straight line. Would the ruler appear more or less bent if the water was replaced with glass?

This ruler appears bent because the light from one end of the ruler has been diffracted, but light from the other end has travelled in a straight line. Would the ruler appear more or less bent if the water was replaced with glass? More bent, because glass is more dense than water.

Extension Questions Fishing animals have to be aware of refraction because the image of the fish is not actually where the fish is. image actual location Add rays to this diagram to show how the image of the fish appears above the real fish.

Extension Questions image actual location

Refraction is what happens when light: A hits an opaque object Answer A, B, C or D Refraction is what happens when light: A hits an opaque object B bounces off a mirror C is scattered unevenly by a rough surface D changes direction as it goes from one substance into another

2) Refraction occurs because: Answer A, B, C or D 2) Refraction occurs because: A light speeds up when it goes from air to glass or water B light slows down when it goes from air to glass or water C light stops when it goes from air to glass or water D light reflects inside transparent materials

3) Why does a lens change the path of light? Answer A, B, C or D 3) Why does a lens change the path of light? A Light changes direction when it goes into the glass and when it comes out of it B Light changes direction in the centre of the lens C Light is reflected by the surface of the lens D Light travels faster in glass than it does in air
