Reflection and refraction
Total internal reflection
Refraction • Refraction occurs when light moves into
medium with different index of refraction. • Result: light direction bends according to
Snell’s law

n2>n1 Refracted ray bent toward normal

slower in medium 2 faster in medium 2
Why Snell’s law? • Light moves at different speed in media with different
index of refraction.

A. Fluid A
B. Fluid B
C. Fluid C
D. All equal
Numerical Example A beam of light is traveling underwater, aimed up at the
surface at 45˚ away from the surface normal. Part of it is reflected back into the water, and part is transmitted into the air.
Water n1=1.33
Air n2=1.00
θ1=45˚

n1 sinθ1 = n2 sinθ2
sinθ2 =n1n2sinθ1 = 0.94
θ2 = arcsin n1n2sinθ1

Quick quiz A trout looks up through
the surface at the setting sun, and at the moon directly overhead. He sees
A. Moon directly overhead, sun ~ parallel to water surface
B. Moon directly overhead, sun ~ 40˚ above water surface
C. Moon ~ 40˚ from vertical, sun ~ parallel to water surface
D. Moon and sun aligned at 40˚ from vertical.
n2=1.0
n1=1.33
Total Internal Reflection • Is possible when light is directed from n1 > n2
⇒ refracted rays bend away from the normal
• Critical angle: angle of incidence that will result in an angle of refraction of 90° (sinθ2 = 1)
For water:
€
sinθc =1
1.333= 0.75⇒θc = 48.75˚
Optical Fibers The cladding has a lower n than the core
• Plastic or glass light pipes • Applications:
– Medicine: endoscope (light can be directed even if bent and the surgeon can view areas in the body using a camera.)
– Telecommunications

Light rays and images
Each point on object reflects light
Light propagates out, represented by rays perpendicular to wavefront.
Lens in our eye does some ‘imaging’ so that we identify origin of light rays.

How do you ‘see’ this?
Lens bends (refracts) light rays— forms image on retina Sensors on retina report to brain.

Making a real image Lens: Refracts light so that rays originating from
a point are focused to a point on the other side.
This is a real image

How a lens works Position surfaces to bend light rays in just the right way Spherical surfaces are very close to the right ones.
Optical Axis
Mon. Feb. 4, 2008 Physics 208, Lecture 4 15
1) Rays parallel to optical axis pass through focal point. 2) Rays through center of lens are not refracted. 3) Rays through F emerge parallel to optical axis.

Virtual images
Virtual image can’t be recorded on film, Can’t be seen on a screen.
But rays can be focused by another lens e.g. lens in your eye (focus on retina) e.g. lens in a camera (focus on film plane)
Image (virtual, upright)
These rays seem to originate from tip of a ‘virtual’ arrow.
objects closer to a converging lens than the focal length form a virtual image
Mon. Feb. 4, 2008 Physics 208, Lecture 4 24
Do these rays come from real image, a virtual image, or an object?
Can’t tell. Rays are exactly equivalent, and can be imaged by a lens in exactly the same way.
