Incident Ray Angle of reflection Reflected Ray Angle of incidence air glass Angle of Refraction Refracted Ray 2
Light travelling from air to glass normal incident ray angle of incidence air glass angle of refraction The light ray bends towards the normal. (偏向 法線) refracted ray 3
Law of refraction (折射定律) gle an normal of inc e nc ide incident ray reflected ray air glass 折射角 (angle of refraction) 折射線 = n (refractive index) (refracted ray) 4
Refractive index of some common materials Material Refractive index Air 1. 00 Water 1. 33 Alcohol (酒精) 1. 36 Perspex (有機玻璃) 1. 50 Glass 1. 50 – 1. 70 Diamond (鑽石) 2. 42 5
Refractive index (折射率) normal a air medium X X n. X – refractive index (折射率) of medium X 6
Class Practice 7. 1 air X 55 60 Refractive index of x = ? 7
Class Practice 7. 1 air X 55 60 n = sin i / sin r = sin 60 ° / sin (90 -55) ° = sin 60 ° / sin 35 ° = 1. 51 Answer is C 8
Class Practice 7. 2 air X air Y Z Which one has the largest refractive index ? 9
Class Practice 7. 2 air X air Y = n (refractive index) Z r↓ means n↑ ∵ rx > ry > rz ∴ nx < ny < nz answer is C 10
