Objectives
• 17.1 Explain the law of reflection • 17.1 Distinguish between diffuse and specular
reflection • 17.1 Calculate the index of refraction in a
medium

Objectives
• 17.2 Explain total internal reflection • 17.2 Define the critical angle • 17.2 Explain effects caused by the refraction of
light in a medium with varying refractive indices
• 17.2 Explain dispersion of light in terms of the index of refraction

Reflection
• Specular: Mirror • Diffuse: Everything else
![Page 5: Chapter 17 Reflection and Refraction](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081502/568160c7550346895dcff687/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What is Smooth?
• Are the molecular gaps smaller than the wavelength? Than specular reflection– Basketball is larger than
gaps, so specular reflection occurs
– Metals: Due to sea of electrons, form sort of a flatness (like flowing water)
• Are the molecular gaps larger than the wavelength? Than diffuse reflection– Most objects tend to
have much larger gaps than 400 – 700 nm

In the House Application
• Mirrors are coated with Silver or Aluminum• Silver is better (99 – 92), not every color equal• Two reflections, one from glass, one from back
• Silver reflects 99 RG and 97 B
• Aluminum 92 RG and 90 B

Refraction

Snells Law
• How much refraction? Depends on speed of light through material
• n is speed of light where 1 is true speed
• Larger than 1 means slowed down (2 means half as fast

What is the index of Refraction
• If a light from a vacuum runs into water at 30 degrees, what is the angle of the light traveling in the water. N value of 1 for vacuum, 1.33 for water
• N values• Vacuum 1.00• Air 1.0003• Water 1.33• Ethanol 1.36• Crown Glass 1.52• Quartz 1.61• Diamond 2.42

Total Internal Reflection
• When all light reflects due to a large angle (critical angle)– Looking into distance water = large angle = critical angle =
total reflection

Total Internal Reflection
• Optic Fibers use this principal

Mirages
• Refraction of light through air (different densities)

Sunrise and Sunset
• Sun actually not where it appears to be
