1 Page 1 of 17 Physics Week 12(Sem. 2) Name Light Chapter Summary Cont d with a smaller index of refraction to a material with a larger index of refraction, the light refracts towards the normal line. Also, if the light travels through a higher index material into a lower index material the light will bend away from the normal line. Note that the material where the incident light originates is labeled with a subscript of 1, while the refracted ray gets a 2 subscript. The relationship between the angle of refraction and the angle of incidence is given by Snell s law Refraction tc op y Light not only travels through a vacuum, but it also can travel through many materials such as air, water, and even glass. As a ray of light changes speed at the materials boundary it causes the ray the deviate from its incident direction. This change in direction is called refraction and is governed by Snell s law of refraction. Snell s law make use of the index of refraction, this is a ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the material. The equation to calculate the index of refraction is sin Where n1 is the index of refraction where the incident ray originates, θ1 is the incident angle with respect to the normal line, n2 is the index of refraction of the material that contains the refracted ray, θ2 is the refraction angle with respect to the normal line. AB C M at h In the above equation, index of refraction (n) is unit less. It uses the speed of light in a vacuum, 3.00x108 m/s as a reference speed. All refractive indices are greater than 1 because light travels slower through a medium than it does in a vacuum. For most gases (including air) the speed of light is very close to that in a vacuum so the index of refraction is taken to be 1. The index of refraction has a slight dependence on the wavelength of light, thus be sure to check the wavelength of light the indices were derived from. St ud en sin ay Snell s Law N.M When light strikes a boundary of two transparent materials the light usually divides into two parts. Part of the light is typically reflected at the boundary, while the other part is transmitted through the boundary. The angle the reflected light makes with the boundary is equal to the angle that the incident light makes with the normal line, this is called the law of reflection (θr= θi). If the incident light does not strike the boundary at a 90o angle than the refracted ray will continue through the material at a different angle/direction than the incident light. When light travels through a medium Ms. N. May Apparent Depth With refraction changing the angle of travel through a boundary, objects under water appear closer to the surface than they are. As light rays travel through air into water they will be bent towards the normal. ABC Math Student Copy

2 However, as light rays travel from the water into the air they will be bent away from the normal. So if the observer were to look from a top a water surface an object in the water will have an image at a different location than the object. If the observer were to be directly on top of the object looking down the objects true depth can be determined using the equation Where d is the apparent depth, d is the actual depth, n 2 is the index of refraction of the medium containing the refracted ray and n 1 is the index of refraction containing the incident ray. Total Internal Reflection When light passes through a medium of larger refractive index into a material of a smaller index of refraction, the refracted ray bends away from the normal line. As the angle of incidence increases, the angle of refraction also increases. When the angle of incidence reaches a certain point, the critical angle (θ c ), the angle of refraction is 90 o. This angle of refraction results in a ray that points along the surface, thus when the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle there is no refracted light. Thus all of the incident light to be reflected within the material that it came from resulting in total internal reflection. Total internal reflection only occurs when light travels from a higher refractive index into a medium of a lower refractive index, it does not occur in the reverse path. Using Snell s law an equation for the critical angle can be obtained sin sin 90 Since the sine of 90 degrees is 1 the equation reduces to a ratio of the index of refractions. Above which angle total internal reflection will occur so long as n 1 is greater than n 2. This phenomenon is important Page in diamonds 2 of 17 sparkling. Dispersion of Light: Prisms & Rainbows When light enters the prism on the left face, the refracted ray is bent toward the normal since the refractive index or glass is greater than air. When the light leaves the right face of the prism it is refracted away from the normal. Because the refractive index of glass depends on the wavelength, the rays corresponding to different colors are bent by different amounts by the prism and leave the prism in different directions. The greater index of refraction for a given color, the greater the bending. Violet, with the shortest wavelength bends the most and red light with the longest wavelength bands the least. Therefore when white light, that contains all colors, enters a prism it will separate into its colors and show a rainbow. The spreading of light into its color components is called dispersion. Lenses Lenses are similar to mirrors, but they have one main difference. Lenses refract light allowing it to travel through the transparent material compared to mirrors that reflect light. Converging Lenses A converging lens is one that is thicker in the center of the lens when compared to the edges. With a spherical lens, rays relatively close to the principal axis and parallel to it converge at a single point, this is called the focal point (F). Thus an object located infinitely car away far on the principal axis will produce an image at the focal point. Considering only thin lenses where making the focal length (f) measurement from either surface of the lens is acceptable and will provide an accurate answer. Such examples of converging lenses would be the double convex lens (protruding both sides), planoconvex(flat on back of lens) and convex meniscus (curved on back to match front). Ms. N. May ABC Math Student Copy

3 Ray Diagrams for Converging Lenses Similar to mirrors, however the ray of light is able to pass through the lens (assuming left to right). For the first paraxial ray, it travels parallel to the principal axis and then is refracted toward the axis and travels through the focal point on the right side of the lens. The second ray passes through the focal point on the left and then once hitting the lens it is refracted parallel to the principal axis. The third ray passes through the center of the lens and is not refracted or bent at all, so long as the front and back of the lens are nearly parallel at the center. Diverging Lenses Another type of lens causes the parallel incident rays to diverge after exiting the lens, diverging lens. For this type of lens, paraxial rays that are parallel to the principal axis appear to originate from a single point on the axis after passing through the lens. This point is called the focal point (F), and f is the focal length to the lens (assuming it is thin). Examples of diverging lens are double concave, plano concave and concave meniscus. Ray Diagrams for Diverging Lenses For the first paraxial ray, it travels parallel to the principal axis and then is refracted away from the axis and appears to have originated from the focal point on the left of the lens. The second ray leaves the object and moves towards the focal point on the right of the lens, but before reaching the focal point it is refracted parallel to the axis. The third ray passes through the center of the lens and is not refracted Page or bent, 3 of 17 so long as the front and back of the lens are nearly parallel at the center. Images for Converging Lens If the object is placed at a distance greater than 2F, any of the three rays will confirm, the resulting image will be real, inverted and smaller. This is used in cameras. If the object is placed between 2F and F the image is still real and inverted, but now it is larger than the object. This is used in film projectors, the film must be placed upside down to get the proper image. When the object is placed between the focal point and the lens, the rays diverge after leaving the lens, producing a virtual image appearing to originate from behind the lens. This virtual image will be upright and larger than the object. This is the image produced when using a magnifying glass. Images for Diverging Lens Light rays diverge when leaving a diverging lens therefore the images formed are virtual, meaning on the same side as the object (or incident ray). Regardless of the position of the object (for a diverging lens), the image will be virtual, upright and reduced in size. Equations for Lenses These equations are the same that apply to mirrors. The first equation relates the focal length to both the image and object distance (to the lens) Where f is the focal length, d o is the distance of the object to the lens and d i is the distance of the image to the lens. For converging lenses, the focal length (f) is positive because it is on the opposite side of the lens. For a diverging lens, the focal length (f) is negative. For the magnification equation, it is a ratio of the height of the object relative to the image height. If the object height is greater than the image height than the magnification (m) is greater than 1. If the object height is less than the image height than the magnification (m) is less than 1. Also, the height of the object and image Ms. N. May ABC Math Student Copy

4 Page 4 of 17 can be related to the distance relative to the lens. Thus the equation for magnification can be N.M ay AB C M at h St ud en tc op y Where m is the magnification, hi is the height of the image, ho is the height of the object, di is the distance of the image to the lens and do is the distance of the object to the lens. The value of m will determine if the image is upright or inverted, a positive number indicating an upright image. Diverging lenses always produce virtual images on the same side of the lens as the object. See table below for sign conventions for lenses. Ms. N. May ABC Math Student Copy
