years.

Wave Interactions
• Waves can refract, or bend, as they change media.
![Page 17: Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568130b2550346895d96c9b5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Index of refraction
• n = c/v• Index of refraction = speed of light in vacuum
over speed of light in medium• n=1.333 (in water)• n=2.419 (in diamond)

Snell’s law
• ni(sin θi) = nr(sin θr)• Index of refraction of first medium x sine of
the angle of incidence = index of refraction of second medium x sine of the angle of refraction
θi
θr

Practice of Snell’s Law
• A light ray of wavelength 589 nm traveling through air strikes a smooth, flat slab of crown glass at an angle of 30.0 degrees to the normal. Find the angle of refraction.
• (nair=1.00, nglass=1.52)• Answer: 19.2 degrees

Critical Angle
• At the critical angle, light beam no longer emerges into the air above the surface.

Previous experience
• How can you look at the back of your head?
![Page 24: Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568130b2550346895d96c9b5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Flat mirrors
• Light always travels in a straight line through a uniform substance.
• If the surface is opaque, the light is deflected at the surface.
• The change in the direction of the light is called reflection.
• Specular reflection: reflected in one direction.• Diffuse reflection: reflected in many different
directions

Virtual image
![Page 26: Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568130b2550346895d96c9b5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Reflection
![Page 27: Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568130b2550346895d96c9b5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• If a straight line is drawn perpendicular to the reflecting surface at the point when the incoming ray strikes the surface, the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection can be defined with respect to the line.
![Page 28: Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568130b2550346895d96c9b5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
θ = θ’
• Angle of incoming light ray = angle of reflected light ray

Object distance, image distance
• The relationship between object distance from the mirror which is represented as p, and image distance, which is represented as q, is such that the object and image distance are equal.
• The image formed by rays that appear to come together at the image point behind the mirror – but never really do – is called a virtual image.

• p (object distance) = q (image distance)• h (object height) = h’ (image height)

Linear polarization
The process that separate waves with electric-field oscillations in the vertical direction from those in the horizontal direction, producing a beam of light with electric-field waves oriented in the same direction.
