Bending Light Simulation
Go to the Bending Light simulation
and click the "More Tools" option upon running the simulation.
Once on this page, check the "angles" box in the bottom left hand corner.
The index of refraction for the bottom material is automatically set to glass. Turn the laser on by pressing the red button. Answer the following questions:
1.
If you were to slide the button down to the left for this material, do you expect the angle of refraction to increase or decrease? Why? If you were to slide the button to the left, the angle of refraction would likely increase. This is because sliding the button to the left decreases the refraction index, which lessens the degree to which the angle is refracted.
Put the bottom material back to glass. Change the top material to "Mystery B" in the drop down
menu.
2.
What is the index of refraction of this material? How did you figure this out? You can check your answer by switching the material to Custom. The refraction index of this material is 1.449, this figure was calculated using snell’s law 3.
Do you expect the light to be moving faster in the top material or the bottom material? Why? I expect light to travel faster in the top material, as it has a lower refractive index than glass of 1.449 which allows light to travel at a faster speed.
Switch the option in the top left corner from "Ray" to "Wave". Check your answer by dragging the speed tool over both laser paths to see if you were correct.
4.
If you tilt the laser to an angle greater than 46%, what begins to happen? If you tilt the laser to an angle of greater than 46% then total internal reflection begins to happen, because the critical angle was exceeded.

In order to calculate the refractive index of a certain glass a young engineering student decided to build an apparatus, as shown in the picture below. Basically he took two mirrors of equal thickness t and focused a beam as indicated. After passing through a lens, a pattern is formed on a bulkhead ahead. How was the student able to estimate the index of refraction?A) by changing the distance between the mirrors we change the pattern into light and dark bands B) by using the apparatus described there is no way to determine the refractive index of glass C) by changing the distance between the mirrors and the screen (or laser) the pattern changes into light and dark bands D) in the screen we will have an interference pattern similar to a double slit where we have a central maximum and other maximums relating to different reflections of the mirror

When considering the location of images formed by lenses, we often like to employ ray tracing
diagrams. To do this we draw three rays of light and see where they intersect.
1. A ray parallel to the axis refracts through the far focal point.
2. A ray that enters the lens along a line through the near focal point emerges parallel to the axis.
3. A ray through the center of the lens does not bend.
This method was shown to you in class for the following situation:
An object and converging lenses with the distance to the object being greater than the focal length,

Learning Goal: Consider an object located at position P in front of a concave mirror whose center of curvature is at position C, as shown in (Figure 1). Draw a principal-ray diagram to determine the size and position of the reflected image. The diagram below shows the incoming principal rays identified in the previous part, as they diverge from the tip of the object Q . Draw the corresponding outgoing rays upon reflection. This will enable you to find graphically the image of the object, which you should draw in the form of an arrow perpendicular to the axis of the mirror. Try to be precise when you draw your rays. Recall that principal-ray diagrams must be drawn accurately to give good results!
