Q
Reflection
A
bouncing of light in opposite direction
1
Q
Reflection
A
bouncing of light in opposite direction
2
Q
Reduce reflection
A
increase refraction
3
Q
Higher index makes the lens thinner because…
A
it has more ability to refract light
4
Q
Refraction
A
bending or change in direction of the ray. Light is transmitted (went through the medium)
5
Q
Factors affecting Refraction
A
(1) Material itself. Optical density. More slow down; higher density.
(2) Obliquity of incident light ray. No changing direction.
(3) Wavelength of incident light. Yellow light. Different frequency; different speed.
