    Particle Model of Light Worksheet 7: Refraction


    1. Sketch the path of the rays as they pass from the air into the water. Draw observer’s eyes in the
    water that could see each ray.
    light source

    air

    water

    2. The light source is now under water. Sketch the path of the rays as they pass from the water
    into the air. Draw observer’s eyes in the air that could see each ray.

    Qualitatively sketch the path of the light rays below as they enter and exit the glass blocks. It may be
    helpful to draw the normal at each interface.
    3. 4.

    5. Quantitatively determine the direction of the 6. Find and draw the angle at which light will
    refracted ray. leave the 45-45-90 triangular glass block in
    water.
    nwater = 1.3 nglass = 1.5

    36o air n=1.0


    glass n=1.5

    7. Quantitatively determine the direction of the 8. In a lab experiment where light passes from
    refracted ray. air into a plastic block, the incident angle is
    measured to be 25o and the refracted angle is
    40o 21o. Find the index of refraction for the block.

    water n=1.3
    glass n=1.5

    9. a. Locate the position of the image of the underwater light source as seen by the eye.

    b. If one of the light rays in the tank of water hits the surface at 35o as measured from the normal,
    at what angle will it enter the air? (nwater = 1.33)

    c. Now suppose the incident angle in the water is 80o as measured from the normal. What is the
    refracted angle? What problem arises?

    d. Find the critical angle for the water-air interface (this is the incident angle that corresponds to
    the largest possible refracted angle, 90˚).
