Copy please Prism What happens when we shine white light into a prism? Red lights bends the least Many colours blended together White light Violet light bends the most
Last lesson • Refraction of light
Refraction Beam of light Light going from air to glass bends towards the normal Glass block Light going from glass to air bends away the normal
Homework – To show and explain this to your parents! Due Friday 29th Jan
Prism What happens when we shine white light into a prism? Red lights bends the least Many colours blended together White light Violet light bends the most
Today’s lesson • Total Internal Reflection • Fibre-optic cables • Seeing colours
Another little investigation! Aim all beams at the centre of the semi circle
Another little investigation! Aim all beams at the centre of the semi circle
Critical Angle? Critical angle
Copy please! Total Internal Reflection If the angle is bigger than the critical angle we get total internal reflection
Total Internal Reflection Critical angle sin c = 1/η sin(critical angle) = 1/(refractive index)
A Red objects in green light would look black (no reflected light)
