Refraction and polarization of light

5. Experiment Results
A. Linearity of light

1. The light beam does go straight when we tested on the angle board.
2. As the source of light beam was getting farther away from the slit, the beam becomes narrower and shorter in addition to fading. This is because light particles escape more when they travel to go through the slit.
B. Law of reflection Angle of incidence is the angle formed by a ray incident on a surface and a perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence. Angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal ray.

The bean was seen and reflected from 10~40 degrees by 10 degrees interval from left and right. In this case, the plane of incidence is made by the incidence ray and reflection ray. The reflected ray is in the incidence plane.

D. Internal reflection and dispersion of light

1. ㄱ. The smooth, flat surface causes reflection from the lens. ㄴ. There exists reflection according to all the incidence angle, but it was very hard to see. But as the incidence angle got bigger and bigger it became more brighter and defined. ㄷ. Yes, the reflection ray observed in the experiment satisfies the law of reflection. ㄹ. Refraction only existed in the angle of incidence that is smaller than the critical angle. The light got sharper and brighter as the angle of incidence got smaller. ㅁ. The closer the angle of incidence is to the critical angle, the reflected light rays become sharper, while the refracted rays become more blurry. ㅂ. The critical angle is 45 degrees. The refractive index = 1/sin45 = 1.41. The experimental value is exactly the same as

    The speed of light is measured through the equation: v = λ f. However, it turns out that when light is reflected off a surface its speed stays the same. This was first proven by Sir Isaac Newton. Under the assumption of perfectly elastic collision, the laws of reflection follow from the laws of motion. To demonstrate, consider a particle traveling towards a flat frictionless surface whose horizontal and vertical velocity components are: VX and VY. When the particle is reflected from the surface there is no change in VX. The vertical velocity component is reversed in direction because of the reactive force of flat frictionless surface. The magnitude of VY is not changed. Since the collision between the particle and the surface is perfectly elastic there is no change in kinetic energy. This also been proven before by measuring the two variables before and after reflection. In order to change the speed of light, either the frequency or the wavelength has to change. The results have shown equivalent values for both of the variables. Thus indicating and proving that the speed of light stays the same after being reflected off a surface.…
