    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

    This ’bending of a ray of light’ when it passes from one substance into another substance is called refraction. Glass is thicker and heavier than air. If the light slows down when it passes from the less dense air into the denser glass‚ this slowing down of the ray of light also causes the ray of light to change direction. It is the change in the speed of the light that causes refraction. This is a bit like when

    refracts if the lens is a Convex it will focus the light towards the point F f stands for focal point it where all light rays pass forming the centre of the image. The lenses are see through but there is something called a critical where the angle of refraction is greater angle of incidence 90°. In this diagram it describes the Critical angle and the rule and how the Total internal Reflection is created. (google

    Baldeo Persaud NT1310 Unit 7 Exercise 1: Fiber Optics- Definitions 1. Crosstalk – The coupling or transfer of unwanted signals from one pair within a cable to another pair. Crosstalk can be measured at the same (near) end or far end with respect to the signal source. Crosstalk is considered noise or interference and is expressed in decibels. 2. Waveguides – A structure that guides electromagnetic waves along their length. The core fiber in an optical-fiber cable is an optical waveguide. 3. FTTH

    1. Describe the pathway of light through the eye and the process of light refraction. 4 points Light enters through the cornea‚ which is the first step in refraction. The iris then modulates the amount of the light that enters the eye. The light then passes through the pupil‚ which regulates light entry into the inner eye and brings objects into focus. Light then then passes through the lens which focuses the light on the retina (made of rods and cones). The retina turns light into nerve impulses

    or transmission of sound (from the source to the ear). In the process of the movement of the sound the chest piece first refracts the sound waves of the heart. The stethoscope that I built had an open space so it didn’t need to do any sound wave refraction to transmit sound the sound wave had to only get in. Then inside the chest piece the sound gets reflected causing multiples echoes to blend making a higher sound: reverberation. Then it moves in the inside of the tube to the ear with a higher sound

    Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite
