Concept explainers

Refraction of Light

Refraction is a change in the direction of light rays when they travel from one medium to another. It is the bending of light when it goes through different media.

Angle of Refraction

Light is considered by many scientists to have dual nature, both particle nature and wave nature. First, Particle nature is one in which we consider a stream of packets of energy called photons. Second, Wave nature is considering light as electromagnetic radiation whereas part of it is perceived by humans. Visible spectrum defined by humans lies in a range of 400 to 700 nm wavelengths.

Index of Refraction of Diamond

Diamond, the world’s hardest naturally occurring material and mineral known, is a solid form of the element carbon. The atoms are arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. They exist in a huge variety of colours. Also, they are one of the best conductors of heat and have a very high melting point.

It then meets the glass-water boundary and is refracted again and continues through a water thickness of 5 cm before reaching another water-glass boundary. The ray of light is again refracted and continues in the 10 cm thick block of glass on the base of the cuboid and eventually exits into air. (a) Draw a clearly labelled diagram of the path the ray of light takes. (b) Calculate all the angles of refraction and incidence at each boundary. (c) Calculate the optical path of the ray of light from the point it is incident on the surface of the cuboid to the point it exits into air on the other end.
