In this tutorial, we will learn to,

Simulate reflection and refraction of a light ray.

Calculate the angles of reflection and refraction.

Change the medium and angle of incidence to verify Snell's Law.

Slide Number 3

Learning Objectives

Calculate the value of critical angle.

Verify Huygens' principle.

Slide Number 4

System Requirements

Here I am using,

Ubuntu Linux OS version 16.04

Firefox web browser version 62.0.3

Slide Number 5

Pre-requisites

https://spoken-tutorial.org/

To follow this tutorial, learner should be familiar with Apps on Physics.

For pre-requisites tutorials please visit this site.

Slide Number 6

Link for Apps on physics.

https://www.walter-fendt.de/html5/phen/

Use the given link to download the Apps.
Open the Downloads folder. I have already downloaded the Apps on Physics to my Downloads folder.


Slide Number 7

Apps on Physics

In this tutorial, we will use,

Refraction of Light and

Reflection and Refraction of Light Waves Apps.


Right-click on refraction_en.htm file.

Select the option Open With Firefox web Browser option.

Cursor on the App.

Right-click on refraction_en.htm file.

Select the option Open With Firefox web Browser.

Reflection and Refraction of Light App opens in the browser.

Cursor on the interface. The App shows reflection and refraction of light through a given medium.
Point to air and water on the interface The default media are air and water.
Point to air.

Point to water.

Note that the medium with lesser refractive index is shown in white background.

The medium with greater refractive index is shown in blue background.

Point to the light that has been incident. Light from the top left corner, strikes the boundary surface of the two media.
Point to both reflection and refraction angles. It shows reflection and refraction.
Point to blue angles. Reflection is shown by the blue coloured angle.
Point to black and blue angles. Observe that the angle of incidence and reflection are the same.
Point to the refraction. Here we see the refraction of light.
Show the phenomena with the motion of the cursor. When light travels from rarer medium to denser medium, it bends towards normal.
Cursor on the green panel. On the green panel we have a choice to change a few parameters.
Point to the drop downs. Let us reverse the two media using the drop downs.
Click on the first drop down and change the medium to water. Select water as the upper medium.

Change the values from 0.1 degrees to 90 degrees and show the changes.

Click on F5 key on the keyboard to refresh and show the default value.

Next Angle of incidence can be changed from 0.1 degrees to 90 degrees.

Press F5 key to see the default value.

It shows 30 degrees.

Point below the text fields. Below the text fields App shows the Angle of reflection and refraction.
Point to the graph. Graph shows the angle of refraction with angle of incidence.
Click and drag the angle of incidence.

Drag it slowly.

We can also change the angle of incidence by dragging this red coloured ray.
Point and show the changes when the angle of incidence is changed. Notice the change in angle of reflection and refraction.

Simultaneously observe the graph.

Cursor on the interface. Now from the graph we will learn the two cases of Snell’s law.
Slide Number 8

Snell’s Law of Refraction

sin i / sin r = n21

“n21” is the refractive index of the second medium w.r.t first.

Before that let us state Snell’s law of refraction.

Ratio of sine of angle of incidence to sine of angle of refraction is a constant.

n21 is the refractive index of second medium with respect to first medium.

Slide Number 9

Snell’s Law of Refraction

Case1: If n21 > 1, angle of refraction is less than angle of incidence.

Case2: If n21 < 1, angle of refraction is greater than angle of incidence.

Here are the 2 cases of Snell’s law.

1. If n21 is greater than 1, angle of refraction is less than angle of incidence.

2. If n21 is less than 1, angle of refraction is greater than angle of incidence.

Edit the value of Angle of incidence to 20 degrees. Change the Angle of incidence to 20 degrees.

Observe that the angle of refraction has changed to 14.9.

Point to the graph and values of the angles. This graph shows the first case of Snell’s law.

Here angle of incidence is greater than the

angle of refraction.

Point to the value of refractive index of the second medium. Observe that the light ray bends towards the normal.
Cursor on the interface. Let us see what happens, when incident ray passes from denser to rarer medium.
Click on the first drop down and change the medium to diamond. From the first drop down change the material medium to diamond.
Point to show the refraction. Notice that the light ray has bent away from the normal.
Point to the graph. This graph shows the second case of Snell’s law.
Point to show Angle of refraction. Here the angle of refraction is greater than the angle of incidence.
Change the Angle of incidence to 30 degrees. Increase the Angle of incidence to 30 degrees.
Point to the refracted ray. The refracted ray has bent still more further away from the normal.
Change the Angle of incidence to 35 degrees. Again increase the angle of incidence to 35 degrees.

In this case observe that the refraction is not possible.

Point to the reflected ray. Here the incident ray is totally reflected.
Cursor on the interface. This phenomenon is known as total internal reflection.

Here the critical angle is formed.

Point to the Critical angle. The critical angle for diamond and water is 33.3 degrees.
Slide Number 10

Critical angle

ic= sin-1(n2/n1)

ic= Critical angle

n1= Refractive index of first medium

n2= Refractive index of the second medium

Now we will calculate the critical angle using the formula.
Slide Number 11

Tabular column

Let us make a tabular column to calculate critical angle for two different media.

Click on the Resume button. Click on the Resume button.
Cursor on the interface. Note that the waves in Medium 2 move with less velocity as compared to Medium 1.

This is because, the medium 2 has higher refractive index.

So here the waves move with less velocity.
