1 Chapter 17 Reflection and Refraction

2 Ch 17.2 Applications of Reflected and Refracted Light

3 A. Total internal reflection B. Effects of refraction C. Dispersion of Light I. Applications of Reflected and Refracted Light

4 A. Total internal reflection Critical angle Θi Θr ΘiΘi ΘrΘr

5 Calculating the critical angle n i sin Θ i = n r sin Θ r Θ i = Θ c sin Θ c = n r / n i Note: you can only have total internal reflection when going from a more dense to a less dense medium. (ex. water to air) Applications of total internal reflection.

6 B. Effects of Refraction Positions of objects in liquids Mirage effect Extended daylight

7 C. Dispersion of Light The separation of light into its spectrum Other materials that disperse light –Diamond Spectra of different light sources Formation of rainbows

8 Homework –Chapter 17 review problems 50 - 58
