Question 1

What is refraction?

  • The bending of sound
  • The bending of light
  • The absorption of light

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the bending effect seen in glass and water.

Question 2

True or False: The angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of refraction.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the changes in direction of light due to different media.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A light ray strikes the surface of water at an angle of incidence of 30 degrees. If the refractive index of water is 1.33, calculate the angle of refraction.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the sine function to move from angles to refraction.

Question 2

If diamond has a refractive index of 2.42, determine how light entering from air bends at the boundary.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the order of densities for interpreting the change.
