    This document discusses chapter 31 of a physics textbook. Section 31-3 discusses reflection and refraction of light, including the definition of critical angle, above which total internal reflection occurs. Examples are given of calculating the critical angle when light passes from water to air. The chapter also covers propagation of light, wave-particle duality, and light spectra. A series of questions follows the content on reflection and refraction.
