Light Effects Refraction‚ reflection and dispersion are all processes which happen when a ray of light is shone at either a glass block‚ a mirror or a prism. The ray box is the light source. Mirror When the ray box is shone at a mirror the angle of incidence is always a few degrees different to the angle of reflection. For example‚ if you shine a light ray into a mirror at 60* then it will reflect out at about 57*. Glass Block If I shine a light ray into a glass block then the light would

(a) Sensory organs are possessed by human and all animals. (b) Sensory organs allow the body to respond to the stimuli surroundings. Stimuli from the surroundings. Stimuli are changes that happen in the environment. (c) Sensory organs have receptors that receive the stimuli and then‚ send them as impulses to the

Examining the Refraction of Light in Prisms Questions 1. What is the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction? The angle of incidence (formed by the ray of light travelling though air into a slab of rectangular perspex) is not directly proportional to the angle of refraction (angle formed between the ray travelling though perspex and the normal). The graph of the plotted angles of incidence against the angles of refraction is not a straight line and therefore demonstrates

OUTLINE OF REFLECTION There are many definitions in the literature of reflection‚ most however agree that it is an active‚ conscious process Reflection is often initiated when the individual practitioner encounters some problematic aspect of practice and attempts to make sense of it. Dewey Dewey (1933) defined reflection as: An active persistent and careful consideration of any belief or supposed form of knowledge in the light of the grounds that support it and the further conclusion to which

mirror reflection - A convex mirror‚ fish eye mirror or diverging mirror‚ is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges toward the light source. Convex mirrors reflect light outwards‚ therefore they are not used to focus light. Reflection - is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated. Reflection law - If the reflecting surface is very smooth‚ the reflection of light

from a wide variety of complications and problems. Castagna (1993) showed the myriad of factors affecting seismic amplitudes. According to Sherwood et al (1983) “The simple interface reflection coefficient is only a starting point toward understanding offset-dependent-reflectivity. More often we deal with reflections from layers‚ transition zones‚ or complex layered sequences.’’ A robust data processing scheme for AVO analysis needs to be carefully selected so that noise could be suppressed without
