14.2 Phenomena involving the refraction of light Real and apparent depth Why does a swimming pool appear shallower than it actually is? ∵ refraction occurs at the water-air boundary
2
14.2 Phenomena involving the refraction of light I O h’ h A B When the rays OA and OB cross the water-air boundary, The refracted rays appear to come from a point I. I – image of O h – real depth h’ – apparent depth h’ < h they bend away from the normal.

14.2 Phenomena involving the refraction of light Examples of refraction of light observer air water The coin appears to be raised in a cup of water.
4
14.2 Phenomena involving the refraction of light observer air water A chopstick appears to be bent when immersed in water.
5
14.2 Phenomena involving the refraction of light observer air glass book The print in a book appears to be raised when viewed through a thick glass block.
6
14.2 Phenomena involving the refraction of light When white light passes through a prism, it is separated into different colours. Dispersion – dispersion
7
14.2 Phenomena involving the refraction of light White light is a mixture of different colours. The refractive indices of glass for light of different colours are slightly different. Light of different colours is refracted by different amounts.

14.2 Phenomena involving the refraction of light red orange yellow green blue indigo violet Refractive index for violet light – largest refracted the most Refractive index for red light – smallest refracted the least
