1. Goal 7 - Refraction
Sound and Light
CLN Science

2. Compare refraction of light through different materials.
Goal
Compare refraction of light through different materials.

3. How do you make light bend?
When light rays enter a new medium they change in speed, causing them to bend or change direction.
when light raysenter a new medium they refract or make a reflection

4. What is refraction?
The bending of light as it enters a new medium Examples: Air to water Water to air Water to glass What is a medium?A material through which a wave (light) travels

5. Refraction can cause you…..
To see something that may not actually be there.That is called an Image.

6. Refraction

7. Figure 8…
When light passes from air into water, the light slows down. Light slows down even more when it passes from water into glass. When light passes from glass back into air, the light speeds up. Light travels fastest in air, a little slower in water, and slower still in glass. Notice that the ray that leaves the glass is traveling in the same direction as it was before it entered the water.

8. What is the index of refraction?
How much a ray of light bends when it enters a new medium.

10. What is white light? All the colors on the visible spectrum R O Y G B

11. Can it be separated? You Bet!!!
Use a prism to separate light into it’s various wavelengths.

12. How does a rainbow occur?
Use a prism to separate light into it’s various wavelengths.

13. Colors refracted different amounts
Recall that when white light enters a prism, each
wavelength is refracted by a different amount. The
longer the wavelength, the less the wave is bent by
a prism. 
Red, with the longest wavelength, is refracted the l
least. 
Violet, with the shortest wavelength, is refracted the
most. This difference in refraction causes white light
to spread out into the colors of the spectrum—red,
 orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet

14. What is a lens?
Curved piece of glass or other transparent material that is used to refract light.

15. The type of image formed...
The type of image formed by a lens
depends on the shape of the lens
and the position of the object.

16. Convex lens Thicker in the center than at the edges.
Thicker in the center than at the edges.
As light rays parallel to the optical axis pass through a convex lens, they are bent toward the
center of the lens. The rays meet at the focal point of the lens and continue to travel beyond.
i lEARNED SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!

19. An object's position relative to the focal point...
An object’s position relative to the focal point determines whether a convex lens forms a real image or a virtual image.

20. Concave Thinner in the center than at the edges.
When light rays traveling parallel to the optical axis pass through a concave lens, they bend away from the optical axis and never meet.
A concave lens can produce only virtual images because parallel light rays passing through the lens never meet.
