Index of Refraction

Posted on January 1, 2011 by Arbor Scientific

The semicircular block is ideal for a first quantitative activity on refraction. When placed as in this activity, rays bend only when exiting the block, simplifying observations. Students will measure angles of incidence and refraction, and calculate the index of refraction of Plexiglas.

Reflection and Refraction

Posted on January 1, 2011 by Lori Anderson

The Law of Reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Students will use ray tracing to predict the location and image characteristics for flat and curved mirrors. Students will use ray tracing to discover and explain how different types of images are created with plane, concave and convex mirrors

Law of Reflection of Light

Posted on January 1, 2011 by Dale Freeland

This activity is designed to help students "discover" that light reflected form a mirror’s surface is reflected in a systematic, predictable way such that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
