In dispersive materials, the angle of refraction for a lightray depends on the wavelength of the light. Does the angleof reflection from the surface of the material depend on thewavelength? Why or why not?
On a sunny summer day, with the sun overhead, you can stand under a tree and look on the ground at the pattern of light that has passed throughgaps between the leaves. You may see illuminated circles of varying brightness. Why are there circles, when the gaps between the leaves have irregular shapes?
