12.1 What is Refraction?
![Page 2: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What is Refraction?
In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines.
But what happens when light travels from one material into another?
Like for example, from air to water?
![Page 3: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What Happens When Light hits a Medium
The straight-line path of light CHANGES!
Light bends (REFRACTS!!)
Your brain THINKS that the light should travel in
a straight line. But it doesn’t.
![Page 4: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Try This! Exploring With Light - Page 515
1. Place a coin in the middle of a beaker. Fill the beaker with water.
2. Look at the coin from the edge of the beaker. Be sure that you are looking ABOVE the beaker THROUGH the surface of the water
3. Aim a stir stick just inside the outer edge of the coin so that it looks as though you are going to just touch the coin. Place the stir stick in the water and attempt to touch the coin.
4. Now look at the beaker from the side and notice the position of the stir stick and the position of the coin.
Why does this happen?!?

REFRACTION
The bending or change in direction of light when it travels from one medium into another.
![Page 6: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What Causes Refraction?
A light ray bends because light travels at different speeds in different mediums.
In a vacuum, light travels at a speed of 3 x 108 m/sec
But when light travels through a material, it is absorbed and re-emitted by each atom or molecule it hits.
![Page 7: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What Causes Refraction?
This absorption and emission slows down the light’s rays
The more light is slowed down the more it bends
Light only refracts at the boundary
![Page 8: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Speed of Light
Medium Speed
Vacuum 3.00 x 108m/s
Water 2.26 x 108m/s
Acrylic 1.76 x 108m/s
Light slows down when it travels from air into another medium.
![Page 9: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Rules of Refraction
1. The incident ray, the refracted ray, and the normal all lie in the same plane.
The incident ray and refracted ray are on opposite sides of the line that separates the two media
Angle of Refraction: the angle between the refracted
ray and the normal
![Page 10: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Rules of Refraction2. Light bends toward the normal when the speed of light in the second medium is less than the speed of light in the first medium (when light slows down).
In other words...Light bends TOWARDS the normal when entering a more dense medium
![Page 11: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Rules of Refraction
2. Continued...
Light bends away from the normal when the speed of light in the second medium is greater (when light speeds up).
In other words...Light bends AWAY from the normal when entering a less dense medium
![Page 12: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Partial Reflection & Refraction
•Light can partially REFLECT and REFRACT at the same time
•Example: You can stand in front of a clear window and
(1) see your faint reflection in the window (partial reflection) and
(2) see through the window at the objects on the other side (refraction)
Coating a glass surface with a
special film coating creates
two-way mirrors. This is used in
making mirrored sunglasses and
windows of many buildings
![Page 13: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
12.7 Phenomena Related to Refraction
Apparent Depth:
The depth that an object
appears to be at due to
the refraction of light in
a transparent medium.
![Page 14: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Refraction causes the pencil to appear closer to the surface than it actually is.
![Page 15: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Objects under water always appear to be nearer to the surface than they actually are. Apparent depth is an optical illusion. This is what makes fish in water appear to be closer to the surface than they actually are.

For the same reason, the legs of someone standing
in water appear to be shorter
![Page 17: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Flattening Sun
When the Sun is close to the horizon, light from the bottom of the Sun is refracted more than the light from
the top of the Sun. The air is more dense near the Earth’s surface than higher up in the atmosphere. So the
increased density of air closer to Earth results in a greater bending of the Sun’s rays.

Shimmering on a lakeOccurs when light travels at different speeds through air layers of different
temperatures.

Rainbow - Dispersion Dispersion: the
separation of white light into its spectrum.
Dispersion occurs because each colour of visible light travels at slightly different speeds when it goes through a glass prism
![Page 22: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
RainbowTh rainbow is caused by a combination of dispersion and partial internal reflection in water droplets in the atmosphere.
Millions of raindrops are necessary to produce a rainbow

![Page 24: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
1. Refraction is the change in direction of a light beam that occurs when light enters a new medium.
![Page 25: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
2.a) When light enters a new medium, its speed changes causing the light to travel in a new direction.
Light bends toward the normal if its speed is slower in the new medium and away from the normal if its speed is greater in the new medium.
![Page 26: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2.b) In order for light to be refracted, it must travel from one transparent medium into another, and light must have a different speed in each medium.
![Page 27: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
3. a) Medium A is air and medium B is ice.
When light passes from one medium into another, its path will be closer to the normal in the medium where lights speed is slower, so medium B must be ice.
![Page 28: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
3.b) The diagram does not show the direction in which the light is traveling, but this does not matter because the light would follow the same path going either way.
![Page 29: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
4.a) Away form the normal
b) Toward the normal

5. Partial reflection and refraction are illustrated in Figure 11.

6. Mirrored sunglasses, energy saving window coatings, domes around ceiling-mounted security cameras, security windows in stores
![Page 32: 12.1 What is Refraction?. What is Refraction? In a vacuum (air) light travels in straight lines. But what happens when light travels from one material.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c4c4a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
7. One application of partial reflection and refraction is the use of two-way mirrors that are used in places where people on one side need to be able to see through the mirror but do not want people on the other side to be able to see through.
This is the case for situations such as police lineups, focus groups or other observations of behavior in which those being observed might behave differently if they could see the people who are observing them.
