Light Flashcards
law of reflection
1)the incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal at the point of incidence all lie on the same plane
law of reflection 2nd
the angle of incidence, I, is equal to the angle of reflection
diffuse reflection (rough surface )
the reflected ray will not parallel
regular reflection (smooth surface)
reflected properly
denser?
means 密度
when does a light ray bend?
a ray of the light bend towards the normal when it enters an optically denser medium at an angle due to a decrease in speed.
what happens when the ray is a straight line (90 degree )
it won’t bend!!!!!
laws of refraction
the incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal at the point of incidence all lie on the plane
law of refraction
For two given media, the ratio sin i/sin r is a constant whr i is the angle of incidence and r is the angle of refraction(know as the smells law too:>)
vacuum
NO AIR XD
find refractive index using speed of light
refractive = speed of light in vacuum/speed of light in medium n=c/v
refractive index of medium with respect to air
real depth / apparent depth
what is criticle angle
the critical angle is defined as the angle of incidence in the optically dense medium for which the angle of refraction in the optically less dense medium is 90 degree.
how find criticle angle IMP
sin c = 1/n n(refractive index)
