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

Question 1

What does the refractive index (μ) represent?

  • A measure of light's speed in a vacuum
  • A measure of how much light bends in a medium
  • The angle of incidence

💡 Hint: Think of how light behaves at different materials.

Question 2

Is total internal reflection possible when light moves from a denser to a rarer medium? True or False.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the conditions needed for total internal reflection.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A light ray strikes a glass interface at an angle of 30°. If the refractive index of glass is 1.5, what is the corresponding angle of refraction in the glass?

💡 Hint: Rearrange Snell's Law to solve for the unknown angle.

Question 2

If you have a prism made of material with a refractive index 1.67, and light hits it at the critical angle. How would this affect light traveling out of the prism?

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship of the critical angle and its effect on specific incidences.
