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…

Textbook Question

Chapter 38, Problem 105PQ

Curved glass–air interfaces like those observed in an empty shot glass make it possible for total internal reflection to occur at the shot glass’s internal surface. Consider a glass cylinder (n = 1.54) with an outer radius of 2.50 cm and an inner radius of 2.00 cm as shown in Figure P38.105. Find the minimum angle θ_i such that there is total internal reflection at the inner surface of the shot glass.
