Reflection and Refraction Flashcards
1
Q
What is reflection for waves
A
When a wave hits the boundary and is reflected with an equal angle of reflection as incidence
2
Q
What is refraction fro waves
A
when a wave hits the boundary and is absorbed by the material to continue travelling through it
3
Q
What is spectacular reflection
A
The wave is reflected in a single direction by a smooth surface
4
Q
What is diffuse reflection
A
The wave is reflected is multiple directions by a rough surface
5
Q
What is the angle of refraction based off
A
Density of material
6
Q
If it moves from a lower density to a higher density where will the light refract?
A
Towards the normal
7
Q
If it moves from a higher density to a lower density where will the light refract?
A
Away from the normal
8
