Term 3 Week 1 2017

Homework:

  • Ex 3A, p. 47-52, Refraction
Snell's Law & Critical Angle
The Critical Angle occurs when a wave is attempting to pass from a medium with a slower speed to that of a higher speed low v  higher v
low 𝜆 higher 𝜆
high n → lower n

The Critical angle is the incident angle where the refracted angle equals 90 degrees
Any incident above the Critical angle will prevent any refraction occuring and Total Internal Reflection will occur
The Critical angle is can be found by sin(𝜭c) = n2/n1
