Reflection • Reflection is when a wave, physical or electromagnetic, bounces off a surface

Reflection • Reflection is when a wave, physical or electromagnetic, bounces off a surface back towards the source. • An example of this is a reflection in a mirror.

Reflection • For all reflections on a smooth surface, the angle of incidence is

Reflection • For all reflections on a smooth surface, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection with respect to the Normal line. • The normal line is the line perpendicular to the surface that splits the incident ray and the reflective ray

Diffraction • Diffraction is a deviation in the direction of the wave at the

Diffraction • Diffraction is a deviation in the direction of the wave at the edge of an obstacle in its path.

Diffraction • Moire patterns are caused by diffraction. • Light slightly bends around the

Diffraction • Moire patterns are caused by diffraction. • Light slightly bends around the corners of the first layer of fence and creates interference patterns on the second layer.

Refraction • Refraction is the bending of a wave when it enters a medium

Refraction • Refraction is the bending of a wave when it enters a medium where its speed is different.

Refraction • Snell’s Law n 1 sinθ 1 = n 2 sinθ 2 Or

Refraction • Snell’s Law n 1 sinθ 1 = n 2 sinθ 2 Or n 1 v 1 = n 2 v 2

Refraction • Sometimes it looks like this • But really it is pretty simple.

Refraction • Sometimes it looks like this • But really it is pretty simple. • Light slows down as it enters different substances

Refraction • Because light slows or bends more in water than out, it can

Refraction • Because light slows or bends more in water than out, it can create amazing optical illusions.

Index of Refraction

Index of Refraction

Refraction • Because the glass and the oil have the same index of refraction,

Refraction • Because the glass and the oil have the same index of refraction, light does not bend when it crosses through the two media.

Total Internal Reflection • TIR is the phenomenon that involves the reflection of ALL

Total Internal Reflection • TIR is the phenomenon that involves the reflection of ALL the incident light off the boundary.

TIR • Requirements 1. The light is in the more dense medium and approaches

TIR • Requirements 1. The light is in the more dense medium and approaches a less dense medium. 2. The angle of incidence is greater than the socalled critical angle.
