    Light ray diagram showing refraction at the boundary between two media. The key elements of refraction are labeled including the incident ray, normal line, refracted ray, angle of incidence, and angle of refraction. Refraction occurs when light crosses the boundary between materials with different optical densities, causing the light to bend due to a change in speed. The direction of bending, or refraction, of the light ray is always toward the normal line or perpendicular to the boundary surface between the two materials.

    MOP Connection: Refraction and Lenses: sublevels 1 and 2

    1. Write a one-‐-word synonym for refraction. ________Bending __________


    2. Refraction occurs when light crosses the boundary between one material and another
    material. What is the primary cause for this refracting of light upon crossing a boundary?

    The diagram below shows the path of a light ray as it travels through air, across the air-‐-water
    boundary, and through the water. Use the diagram to answer questions #3-‐-#6.
    3. On the diagram, label ...
    • the air-‐-water boundary with a B
    • the normal line with an N I
    • the incident ray with an I
    N
    • the refracted ray with an R
    • the angle of incidence with a ⎝ i i
    • the angle of refraction with a ⎝ r
    4. How many media are there in this diagram?
    Name them. B
    Air and Water
    R
    r
    5. What is meant by the term "ʺmedium"ʺ in this context?

    Materials where light passes through


    6. Place a noticeable dot at the location where refraction of light takes place.

    7. For the three situations below, draw a normal line and measure and record the angles of
    incidence and the angles of refraction.

    ⎝ i = ____40°_____________ ⎝ i = _________35°________________ ⎝ i =
    _______55°__________

    ⎝ r = _____20°________________ ⎝ r = ________55°_________________ ⎝ r =
    ______40°___________
    8. In each diagram, draw the "ʺmissing"ʺ ray (either incident or refracted) in order to appropriately show
    that the direction of bending is towards or away from the normal.

    9.

    10. A ray of light is shown passing through three


    consecutive layered materials. Observe the
    direction of bending at each boundary and
    rank the three materials (A, B and C) in order
    A
    of increasing B
    index of refraction.
    C
    < <
    smallest largest

    11. Arthur Podd'ʹs method of


    fishing involves spearing
    the fish while standing
    on the shore. The
    apparent location of a
    fish is shown in the
    diagram below. Because
    of the refraction of light,
    the observed location of
    the fish is different than
    its actual location. If
    Arthur is to successfully
    spear the fish, must he
    aim at, below, or above
    where the fish appears to
    be? Below Explain.

    He should aim below where the fish


    Seems to be .Since light refracts away from the normal.
    12. Use Snell'ʹs law to solve the following physics word problems. PSYW
    • An incident ray in air (n=1.0) is approaching the boundary with an unknown material at
    an angle of incidence of 61.6°. The angle of refraction is 41.4°. Determine the index of
    refraction of the unknown material.
    Given
    n1 = 1.0 n1 sinѲi = n2 sinѲr
    Ѳi = 61.6 (1.0) sin 61.6 = n2 sin 41.4
    Ѳr = 41.4 0.9 = n2 (0.7)
    0.7 0.7
    1.3 = n2

    • An incident ray in air (n=1.0) is approaching


    the boundary with glass (n = 1.52) at an
    angle of incidence of 32.5°. Calculate the angle
    of refraction. Draw the refracted ray on the
    diagram at the right.
    Air Glass

    Given n1 sinѲi = n2 sinѲr


    n1 = 1.0 (1.0) sinѲ 32.5 = (1.52) sinѲr
    Ѳi = 32.5 0.5 = (1.52) sinѲr
    n2 = 1.52 1.52 1.52

    0.33= sonѲr
    19° =Ѳr
