  1. Physics 52 - Heat and OpticsDr. Joseph F. BeckerPhysics DepartmentSan Jose State University © 2005 J. F. Becker

  2. Chapter 33The Nature and Propagation of Light © 2005 J. F. Becker San Jose State University Physics 52 Heat and Optics

  3. Spherical E-M wave fronts spreading out uniformly in all directions from a point source of LIGHT © 2005 J. F. Becker San Jose State University Physics 52 Heat and Optics

  4. Wave fronts and rays. Spherical wave fronts. When wave fronts are planes the rays are parallel. © 2005 J. F. Becker San Jose State University Physics 52 Heat and Optics

  5. A plane wave is in part reflected and in part refracted at the boundary between two media (air and glass here). air glass air glass © 2005 J. F. Becker San Jose State University Physics 52 Heat and Optics

  6. Specular and diffuse reflection © 2005 J. F. Becker San Jose State University Physics 52 Heat and Optics

  7. Reflection and refraction for the case where nb > na air glass © 2005 J. F. Becker San Jose State University Physics 52 Heat and Optics

  8. Optical materials are characterized by an important property called the index of refraction or refractive index defined as:n = c / vnwhere c is the speed of light in vacuum and equal to c = 3.00 (10)8 m/s, and vn is the speed of light in the material. The value of vn varies from one material to another (type of molecules, crystal structure, etc.). n is always equal to, or greater than, 1.00 © 2005 J. F. Becker San Jose State University Physics 52 Heat and Optics

  9. A twice reflected ray (done in the lab) © 2005 J. F. Becker San Jose State University Physics 52 Heat and Optics

  10. As light passes through the interface between two materials (like air and glass) the frequency (f) of the light wave remains the same: number of cycles per second out of one material must equal the number of cycles/second into the other. IN VACUUM: f = c / loIN MATERIAL: f = vn / lnEquating the f’s the we get c / lo = vn / ln ln = lo (vn / c) so ln = lo / (n) © 2005 J. F. Becker San Jose State University Physics 52 Heat and Optics

  11. Law of REFLECTION Angle of incidence = angle of reflectionqi = qr Law of REFRACTION (Snell’s Law) n1 sin q1 = n2 sin q2 © 2005 J. F. Becker San Jose State University Physics 52 Heat and Optics

  12. A light ray is incident on a block of glass (n = 1.50) making an angle of 30o with the NORMAL to the surface. • What is the angle of reflection? • What is the angle of refraction? © 2005 J. F. Becker San Jose State University Physics 52 Heat and Optics

  15. Variation of index of refraction (n) with wavelength of light in vacuum (lo). The wavelength of light in thematerial is ln= lo / n 700 © 2005 J. F. Becker San Jose State University Physics 52 Heat and Optics

  16. Dispersion of light by a prism. The band of colors is called a spectrum. © 2005 J. F. Becker San Jose State University Physics 52 Heat and Optics

  17. Rainbows are formed by refraction, reflection, and dispersion in water drops: (a) Primary rainbow (b) Secondary rainbow red violet © 2005 J. F. Becker San Jose State University Physics 52 Heat and Optics
