REFRACTION Is the bending(change of direction) of light when it passes from one material into another. The speed of light decreases when light enters a dense medium. Refracted ray bends towards the normal. 2
The pencil appears broken when in water. The rays reaching our eyes bend at the surface. The beam bends when it enters glass The fish appears near the surface of water that it real is. Rays from the fish refract at the surface. 3

Air to glass Glass to Air (Less dense to dense medium) (Dense to less dense) Speed of light decreases and refracted ray Speed of light increase and refracted ray Bends Towards the Normal Bends Away from the Normal A normal is a line drawn 90 o to the surface at the point where the light enters the medium. 5

MONOCHROMATIC LIGHT Light of a single wavelength Example : Laser light
TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION(T. I. R) Complete reflection of light when angle of incidence is greater than critical angle when light is traveling from dense to less dense. This occurs when: 1. Light is travelling from dense to less dense medium. The angle of incidence is greater than critical angle. 23

Applications of Total Internal Reflection 1. Reflective road signs. 2. Optical Fibres used in -communication -Endoscopes -Periscopes Advantages of optical fibres over copper conductors 1. Less interference. 2. cheaper raw material 3. occupy less space / more information (carried) in the same space 4. flexible for inaccessible places/ 5. do not corrode 29

Visible Spectrum White light is made up of the seven colours of the rainbow. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
Dispersion The splitting of white light into seven colours by a prism Least refracted Most refracted
RAINBOWS • We see rainbows because the light is first refracted by raindrops and then reflected off the back of the raindrop.
