- How do sound waves reflect and refract?

C. DISCUSSION

Light exhibits the characteristics and properties of a wave. Light tends to travel in a
straight line, unless it is acted on by some external force or condition. "What kinds
of forces or conditions can affect light, and how?" To answer this question, we start
with what we can see in everyday life. from each other.
 When driving on a black road on a hot day, you may see what appear to be a
puddle of water up ahead of you. But when you get there, it is dry. Why?
What is this phenomenon called? (a mirage)
Light travels in a straight line. This is so as long as long as the medium in
which it is traveling is uniform all throughout. When light crosses a boundary
between two transparent media of different optical densities, light bends. The
bending of light due to change in its speed is called refraction. When light travels
from air to water, the speed of light decreases because the optical density of water
is greater than air.

In figure 3, θi is the angle of incidence and θr is the angle of refraction

(the angle between the outgoing ray, in the medium, and the normal to
the boundary).

As light enters an optically more dense material, the angle of refraction

is smaller than the angle of incidence-the light bends toward the
normal. Likewise, if light passes from an optically dense medium to a
less dense medium, the light bends away from the normal.
A known indicator of the optical density of a material is the index of
refraction of the material. Index of refraction represented by the
symbol n is the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum and its speed in another medium. In
symbols;
n= speed of light in a vacuum / speed of light in material

The ratio is always greater than 1. For water, n is usually equal to 1.360 while
air is more or less comparable to vacuum so its n is 1.000.

D. APPLICATION
 Activity-See Lesson Guide pp 77-78

Part A:
1. List and arrange the observed colors according to how they appear on the paper.

Part B
2. Describe the position of the different colors after passing through the prism
3. Explain the dispersion of white light. Why is the prism or water able to separate the
colors of white light?
4. Compare your results in the first part with your results in the second part. Are there any
differences? What might account for the differences?
5. What did you observe with the indices of refraction of the colors of light in the acrylic
prism?
6. How would these indices of refraction account for the arrangement of colors of light?
 E. GENERALIZATION

As light enters an optically denser material, the angle of refraction is smaller than the angle
of incidence-the light bends toward the normal. Likewise, if light passes from an optically
dense medium to a less dense medium, the light bends away from the normal. What are
the different colors of light?

IV. EVALUATION
