Chapter 22 Reflection and Refraction of Light

The Particle Nature of Light “Particles” of light are called photons Each photon has a particular energy E = h ƒ h is Planck’s constant h = 6.63 x J s Encompasses both natures of light Interacts like a particle Has a given frequency like a wave

Dual Nature of Light Experiments can be devised that will display either the wave nature or the particle nature of light In some experiments light acts as a wave and in others it acts as a particle Nature prevents testing both qualities at the same time

Specular Reflection Specular reflection is reflection from a smooth surface The reflected rays are parallel to each other All reflection in this text is assumed to be specular

Diffuse Reflection Diffuse reflection is reflection from a rough surface The reflected rays travel in a variety of directions Diffuse reflection makes the dry road easy to see at night

Refraction of Light, cont The incident ray, the reflected ray, the refracted ray, and the normal all lie on the same plane The angle of refraction, θ 2, depends on the properties of the medium

Following the Reflected and Refracted Rays Ray  is the incident ray Ray  is the reflected ray Ray is refracted into the lucite Ray  is internally reflected in the lucite Ray is refracted as it enters the air from the lucite

More About Refraction The angle of refraction depends upon the material and the angle of incidence The path of the light through the refracting surface is reversible

Refraction Details, 1 Light may refract into a material where its speed is lower The angle of refraction is less than the angle of incidence The ray bends toward the normal

Refraction Details, 2 Light may refract into a material where its speed is higher The angle of refraction is greater than the angle of incidence The ray bends away from the normal

The Index of Refraction When light passes from one medium to another, it is refracted because the speed of light is different in the two media The index of refraction, n, of a medium can be defined

Index of Refraction, cont For a vacuum, n = 1 For other media, n > 1 n is a unitless ratio

Frequency Between Media As light travels from one medium to another, its frequency does not change Both the wave speed and the wavelength do change The wavefronts do not pile up, nor are created or destroyed at the boundary, so ƒ must stay the same

Index of Refraction Extended The frequency stays the same as the wave travels from one medium to the other v = ƒ λ The ratio of the indices of refraction of the two media can be expressed as various ratios

Some Indices of Refraction

Snell’s Law of Refraction n 1 sin θ 1 = n 2 sin θ 2 θ 1 is the angle of incidence 30.0° in this diagram θ 2 is the angle of refraction

Dispersion The index of refraction in anything except a vacuum depends on the wavelength of the light This dependence of n on λ is called dispersion Snell’s Law indicates that the angle of refraction made when light enters a material depends on the wavelength of the light

Refraction in a Prism The amount the ray is bent away from its original direction is called the angle of deviation, δ Since all the colors have different angles of deviation, they will spread out into a spectrum Violet deviates the most Red deviates the least

The Rainbow, 2 At the back surface the light is reflected It is refracted again as it returns to the front surface and moves into the air The rays leave the drop at various angles The angle between the white light and the violet ray is 40° The angle between the white light and the red ray is 42°

Observing the Rainbow If a raindrop high in the sky is observed, the red ray is seen A drop lower in the sky would direct violet light to the observer The other colors of the spectra lie in between the red and the violet

Total Internal Reflection Total internal reflection can occur when light attempts to move from a medium with a high index of refraction to one with a lower index of refraction Ray 5 shows internal reflection

Critical Angle A particular angle of incidence will result in an angle of refraction of 90° This angle of incidence is called the critical angle

Critical Angle, cont For angles of incidence greater than the critical angle, the beam is entirely reflected at the boundary This ray obeys the Law of Reflection at the boundary Total internal reflection occurs only when light attempts to move from a medium of higher index of refraction to a medium of lower index of refraction

Fiber Optics An application of internal reflection Plastic or glass rods are used to “pipe” light from one place to another Applications include medical use of fiber optic cables for diagnosis and correction of medical problems Telecommunications
