Applications Of Reflection Of Light

When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.

Sign Convention for Mirrors

A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.

Question

What I Can Do
Now that you have learned how properties of light can explain various optical
phenomena, it's your turn to apply what you learned. Answer the following questions
using the concepts you learned.
1. What kind of mirror should be used in the rearview mirror of a car? In the side
view mirror of the car?
2. What is the use of colored photography filters?
3. Using the concept of scattering of light, how can you answer the questions: "Why
is the sky blue?" or "Why are clouds white?" or "Why are sunsets red?"?
4.
Why do you think the colors red, green and yellow are the one used for traffic
lights?
5. An archer fish can prey on land-based insect and other small animals by spitting
water from their specialized mouths. Explain how refraction occurs in the water-
air boundary of the fish. Draw a diagram.

Instructions: • For each item, show your complete solution and box your final answer with proper units. Questions: 1. What is the frequency of light that has a wavelength in water of 600 nm if the refractive index for this light is 1.33? 2. Light enters a glass plate whose index of refraction is 1.6 at an angle of incidence of 30°. What is the angle of refraction? 3. Light travelling in water (n = 1.33) strikes a glass plate at an angle of incidence of 53°; part of the beam is reflected and part is refracted. If the reflected and refracted portions makes an angle of 90° with each other, what is the index of refraction of the glass? 4. What is the critical angle for light passing from diamond to air if the index of refraction of diamond is 2.42? 5.

Think about the color purple. I’m sure you are imagining a variety of shades of the color of royalty from a deep violet to a subtle lavender and everything in between. But while it seems to be a fairly straightforward concept, describing a color is a much more daunting task. First, we need to understand what color is and how people perceive color. To further confound matters, color vision from one person to another is not set in stone; the variety and combination of the cells in the back of your eyes will determine the colors you see, and the way you’ve experienced the world will teach you how to describe them to others. What started out as a concept that most children learn before they set foot in a schoolroom has quickly morphed into an immensely complex set of issues. To help address some of the complexity of sight and color perception, we will approach it from a cellular level to understand how light can be transduced into a nervous signal.
