1 Light Reflection and Refraction

2 Reflection Law of Reflection

3 “normal” line ii rr The angle of incidence,  i, is equal to the angle of reflection,  r.  i =  r

4 1. Incident ray of light 2. Reflected ray of light 3. Backward Extension Lines Lines extended backward from the reflected rays of light

5 Plane (Flat) Mirrors

6 Curved Mirrors “Objects in Mirror are Closer than they Appear!”… Why?

7 Curved Mirrors Or Not!

8 Refraction Angle of Refraction Optical Density

9 Refraction Snell’s Law –the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is constant n i sin  i = n r sin  r Index of Refraction –n substance = c / v substance

10 Dispersion of Light Dispersion –the separation of light into the spectrum

11

12 Dispersion of Light Water droplets act as lenses causing a dispersion of light, this light then reflects off of the back of the droplet

13 Homework! Read 29.1 – 29.5
