Broadneck Physics – Chapter 17 – Refraction of Light

Corn Syrup Water Vegetable Oil Water Water

What happens when you shine a narrow beam of light at the surface of a piece of glass? As you can see below, it bends as it crosses the boundary from air to glass. The bending of light, called refraction, was first studied by René Descartes and Willebrord Snell around the time of Kepler and Galileo. Snell’s Law Song

Normal Normal Light bends toward the normal as it moves from air to glass and bends away from the normal as it moves from glass to air (a). The bending of light makes objects appear to be shifted from their actual locations (b). BENDS TOWARD NORMAL WHEN MOVING INTO DENSER SUBSTANCE BENDS AWAY FROM NORMAL WHEN MOVING INTO LESS-DENSE SUBSTANCE

“Normal” Lower Index of refraction = less dense Higher Index of refraction = more dense Lower Index of refraction = less dense Light moves from air to glass to air again (a). Light slows down and bends toward the normal when it enters a region of a higher index of refraction (b).

Critical Angle of Refraction Ray A is partially refracted and partially reflected (a). Ray B is refracted along the boundary of the medium and forms the critical angle (b). An angle of incidence greater than the critical angle results in the total internal reflection of Ray C, which follows the law of reflection (c). Applet Applet2

Fiber Optic Cables Light impulses from a source enter one end of the optical fiber. Each time the light strikes the surface, the angle of incidence is larger than the critical angle, and, therefore, the light is kept within the fiber.

A mirage is seen on the surface of a HOT road (a) A mirage is seen on the surface of a HOT road (a). Light from the car bends upward into the eye of the observer (b). The bottom of the wave front moves faster than the top (c).

More Examples of Refraction and it’s Wavelength dependence White light directed through a prism is dispersed into bands of different colors (a). Different colors of light bend different amounts when they enter a medium (b). Shorter Wavelengths (Violet!) are refracted more…

Rainbows form because white light is dispersed as it enters, reflects at the inside boundary, and exits the raindrops (a). Because of dispersion, only one color from each raindrop reaches an observer (b). (Illustration not to scale)

Two Refractions and Two reflections (and thus a dimmer rainbow) make a Secondary Rainbow

Lenses are probably the most useful of all optical devices. The refraction of light in nature that forms rainbows and red lunar eclipses is beautiful, but refraction also is useful. In 1303, French physician Bernard of Gordon wrote of the use of lenses to correct eyesight. Around 1610, Galileo used two lenses to make a telescope, with which he discovered the moons of Jupiter. Since Galileo’s time, lenses have been used in many instruments, such as microscopes and cameras. Lenses are probably the most useful of all optical devices.

This is a convex lens because it is thicker at the center than at the edges. A convex lens often is called a converging lens because when surrounded by material with a lower index of refraction it refracts parallel light rays so that the rays meet at a point. "Cave" This is a concave lens because it is thinner in the middle than at the edges. A concave lens often is called a diverging lens because when surrounded by material with a lower index of refraction rays passing through it spread out.

Another way to think of a lens …. As a group of small prisms!!

Lens Geometry This distance – twice the focal length – is also the radius of curvature of the lens!

Ray Diagrams Converging Lens Applet

Lens (and mirror!) Equations

Using the equations for lenses - It is important that you use the proper sign conventions when using these equations. Table 18-2 shows a comparison of the image position, magnification, and type of image formed by single convex and concave lenses when an object is placed at various object positions, do, relative to the lens.

A converging lens can focus the parallel rays from the Sun into a single VERY HOT point!

CSP systems use mirrors to channel sunlight CSP systems use mirrors to channel sunlight. This sunlight heats a fluid to a high temperature whereupon it turns a turbine. CSP is a source of large-scale power that is inexpensive and stores energy that can be used after sundown.

Concave lenses produce only virtual images that are upright and smaller compared to their objects. Concave Lens Applet

The human eye is complex and has many components that must work together.

A nearsighted person cannot see distant objects clearly because images are focused in front of the retina (a). A concave lens corrects this defect (c). A farsighted person cannot see close objects clearly because images are focused behind the retina (b). A convex lens corrects this defect (d).
