     Laws of Refraction
    What is light?

     Lets Find it out………..


    We know this world largely by the sense of
    sight.

    Help me out to identify these objects.


    How these senses are produced ?

     These senses are produced due to the chemical reaction that starts in our eyes and brain
    when we see these images.
     Similar senses are produced when you see a river, a plant, a mountain, an animal or
    anything which you see with your eyes.
     So now we can say

    Light is a form of energy that gives us a sense of


    sight.
    What makes Things
    Visible?
     We will answer this question by asking ourselves a question.
     Can we see objects in dark?

     It means that eyes alone cannot see any object.


     It is only when light from an object enters our eyes that we see the object.
     The light may have been emitted by the object, (like sun, monitor screen, bulb etc. )
     or may have been reflected by it, (like moon, pen, walls , plants, etc.)

    Lets Talk more about Reflection…….


    Reflection

    When a polished or a shiny surface


    changes the direction of light that
    falls on it, this phenomenon is known
    as Reflection.

     Can we tell in which direction the light falling


    on a surface will be reflected?
    Lets find out…
    Laws of Reflection

    Normal
    Laws of Reflection
     1st Law
    Angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection.

     2nd Law
    The incident ray, the normal at the point of incidence and the reflected ray all lie in the
    same plane.
    Types of reflections

    Regular reflection
    Refraction

    Refraction is the change in the


    direction of a wave passing from
    one medium to another.
    Causes of refraction
    Change of Speed Results in Change in Direction

    The speed of light is different in different medium.


    As light travels from one medium to other its speed
    changes.

     When light travels from a less dense substance to a


    denser substance, the refracted light bends more
    towards the normal line.
     When light travels from air into glass, the light
    slows down and changes direction slightly.

    Refracted Ray
    Laws of Refraction

     1st law
    The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal
    to the interface of two transparent media at the
    point of incidence, all lie in the same plane.
      2nd law
    The ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of
    refraction is a constant, for the light of a given colour and for the
    given pair of media.
    This law is also known as Snell’s law of refraction.
