    Homework for Chapter 2 from textbook 

    Chapter 2‐ Refracting Light 

    1. What is meant by refraction? Can you show on a diagram how it works? 
    2. Please note carefully the diagram on page 25, figure 2.4. you must understand the various labels such as refracted ray, 
    incident ray , angle of incidence, angle of refraction, normal 
    3. Go through the samples problems on page 26 and see if you can follow the logic of the solution. 
    4. What is the physical meaning of the refractive index? What is it actually measuring? 
    5. Explain in the simplest terms the meaning of critical angle and total internal reflection. ( It might help to refer to the 
    diagrams on page 29, figure 2.8) 
    6. How can mirages be explained? 
    7. What practical use can optical fibres be used for? 
    8. The ray particle model has a few limitations, can you list them? 
     

    9. What is the difference between a convex and a concave lens? 
    10. Look at the figure 2.26 on page 36.Notice carefully how we use ray diagrams to find the image formed by a convex lens. 
    This is very similar to the way we used ray diagrams to find the image formed by a concave mirror. What is the difference 
    however? 
    11. What are some of the common problems associated with eyes? 
    12. Make sure you do the homework sheet for this section. 
     

    Problems to do from Chapter 2 

    Questions: 1‐2‐3‐4‐5‐6‐7‐8‐10‐11‐13‐14 ‐15‐20‐26‐27 

    You should be able to understand at the end of this chapter the following concepts 

    1. Bending of light 
    2. How to use Snell’s equation to work out the angle of refraction 
    3. Be able to draw the diagram for various questions 
    4. Total internal reflection and critical angle, why it occurs 
    5. Be able to find the critical angle given the index of refraction for a particular medium 
    6. Be able to use light rays to find the image formed by convex lens in particular 
    7. Forming images with lenses 
    8. Be able to use the mirror/ lens formula to work out the position of the image and its description 
    9. Microscopes: An application of lenses 
    10. Human and animal vision‐ have a basic understanding 

    Please update your formula sheet to include these concepts, since the mid year exam you will be able to bring into the exam only 
    one A‐4 sheet of paper annotated on both sides
