  1. Refraction of Light Starter The drawing indicates that compared to blue light, red light moves A. faster in glass. slower in glass. the same speed in glass.

  2. Part I Research 1. Research the term refraction and write a description of this effect. 2. Research the term index of refraction and write a description of this number. Describe what a low and high index indicate. 3. Research Snell’s Law, the equation that governs refraction of light. Write the equation and sketch a picture of light moving from air to glass. Show and Label: the normal, the incident ray and incident angle, the refracted ray and refracted angle, and the reflected ray and angle. Use a ruler and draw carefully. .

  3. Refraction of Light Starter #2 The incident angel is measured between the incident ray and the boundary between the media. normal to the boundary. the refracted ray. none of these.

  4. Part II Phet Experiment Design an experiment to investigate Snell’s Law by using the “ Bending Light” Phet simulation. 1. Investigate a light ray moving from air to water by measuring the incident and refracted angles for 5 degrees to 90 degrees in 5 degree increments. 2. Plot the sine of the incident angle vs. the sine of the refracted angle. Use your plot to determine the index of refraction for water. 3. Repeat for a ray moving from air to glass.

  5. Data Tables Air to Water Air to Glass

  6. Graphing Tables Air to Water Air to Glass Use degree mode. Slope of linear fit = index of refraction for 2nd medium.

  7. Starter #3 Total internal reflection can occur if light is traveling from : A. a material with a lower index to a material with a higher one B. a material with a higher index to a material with a lower one C. both of these are possible.

  8. Part III Ray Box Experiment • 1. Set the clear block on a piece of paper and trace its outline. • Use the single slit slide on the box and send a ray of light through • the block. Trace its path on the paper. • 3. Use a protractor and measure and record the angle of incidence • and refraction. • Using Snell’s Law, find the index of refraction for the block. • Repeat for a new incident angle.

  9. Questions 1. Using the simulation, investigate a ray coming from water, into air. What happens when the incident angle is near or below 47 degrees? Look carefully. 2. What is meant by the “critical angle “ for light that moves from a higher index to a lower index? 3. Find the index of refraction for “mystery material A”, using Snell’s Law.
