Reflection and Refraction


    • Light wave = light ray
    • Light rays reflect off mirrors and most other things
    • Specular reflection = when light reflects off smooth shiny surfaces at the same angle, which gives a clear reflection.
    • Diffuse reflection/scattering = when light is scattered in lots of different directions, therefore rough directions look dull.
    • ANGLE OF INCIDENCE =
    • These angles are always measured from thenormal and light ray .

Reflection and Refraction

    • Refraction = when light bends as it crosses a boundary (from one transparent medium to another)
    • Light can’t pass through opaque objects (not see through)
    • Medium = any substance light travels through
    • Light goes from less dense to denser medium = light bends towards normal (air to glass)
    • light goes from denser to less dense medium = light bends away from normal (glass to air)
    • what happens when light hits a glass block?

1. Light hits glass at an angle = slows down and bends

2. Ray bends towards normal

3. Light ray leaving the glass block = ray bends away from normal
