Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What happens to waves when they pass from one medium to another?

  • They disappear
  • They speed up and change direction
  • They slow down and change direction
  • They reflect completely

💡 Hint: Think about how light behaves in different materials.

Question 2

True or False: Light can reflect completely across a boundary when entering a medium with a lower index.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Remember what we defined as the critical angle.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A light ray strikes water at a 45-degree angle. Calculate the angle of refraction in water, given that the indices of refraction are 1 for air and 1.33 for water.

💡 Hint: Remember to use the sine function for calculation.

Question 2

In a fiber optic cable made of glass (n = 1.5), what is the critical angle when light travels from glass to air (n = 1)?

💡 Hint: Think about how total internal reflection keeps light in.
