LAB 4: Ray Tracing, Laws of refrac6on and Snell’s Law using a Virtual Setup: Virtual Lab Name: Isabelle Rodriguez Introduc6on: Background on Normal, Incident angle, reflected and Refracted ray
: When light strikes an interface, some of the light bounces off the surface, and some will enter the glass. The light that bounces off the surface is said to have been “reflected”, or to have undergone reflecEon. The light that enters the glass is said to have been “refracted”, or to have undergone refracEon. When we examine the properEes of transparent medium like glass, it is important to first realize that glass work on the principle of reflecEon/refracEon and that lenses (and prisms) work on the principle of refracEon. Where mirror works on the principle of reflecEon only. Lenses and mirrors are oMen used to magnify or reduce images. To do this the light will be either focused to a real focal point (like in a concave mirror or a converging lens) or spread away from a virtual focal point (like in a convex mirror or a diverging lens). At first, we will be working on to verify the laws of reflecEon.

Next, find the App called “Bending of Light.” Finally, click on the app (you may click on the Play buPon or the Red 5) You will start the lab using the Intro secEon. Preliminary InvesEgaEon [turn over]
1.
Turn the laser on by clicking the red buPon. You will see light ge]ng reflected and refracted, but you will be focusing only on reflected ray for this part of the experiment. Now move the laser pointer leM and right to change the angle of incidence as shown in figure and verify the laws of reflecEon. 2.
What are some observaEons you make on angle of reflecEon when you change the angle of incidence? Describe them, (
answer, explain, evidence).
When moving the incidence angle of reflecEon is equal to it. So at a incidence angle of 30 degrees the reflecEon is also at 30 degrees. 3.
What are the laws of reflecEons? Do you think, laws of reflecEon hold in your experiment? if it holds describe, (
answer, explain, evidence). Yes, they correlate with the laws or reflection because the reflection angle are the same as the incidence angles. As long as they are both equal they hold in the experiment. Ac6vity 2

Turn the laser on by clicking the red buPon. You will see light ge]ng reflected and refracted. Now move the laser pointer leM and right by clicking and holding on the silver part and moving it. What are some observaEons you make? Describe them, (
answer, explain, evidence).
Move the laser pointer, leM and right by clicking and holding on the silver part and moving it. 5.
Now, leaving the pointer at about 45° change the material the pointer is in. It is currently in Air. Click the tab and try several other materials. What are some of your observaEons? (
answer, explain, evidence). I have observed that incident ray is equal to the reflected ray. On the other hand the reflected ray is smaller in angle compare to the incident ray and reflected ray.

Put the iniEal material back to Air. Now click on water in the lower material. Change it to several other materials and made record your observaEons. Is there are way to make the light, go straight from AIR into the lower material, (
answer, explain, evidence). No, because the laser beam that travel from air to water tend to bent due to waters higher refraction index. The only way to make the light go straight on the lowers material is to change it into air so that the light can travel with a lower refraction index making it not to refract or bent.
PART I 1. For this part of the lab you will stay in the intro secEon. 2. Keep the starEng material AIR, and the lower material WATER. 3. Drag the yellow protractor onto the experimental area. Move it so the AIR/WATER barrier line is just on 90°. The doPed Normal line must be at 0°. 4. Now you will change the incident angle to the angles listed on the table below. Use the protractor to set the Incident angle and find the Refracted angle.
