    A322 – Refraction of Light Assignment

    Name: ( ) Marks: / 19
    Class: Date:
    Date Due:

    A. True or False (4 marks)

    1. When a light ray travels from air into another medium, both reflection and
    refraction of light occur.
    2. In general, a light ray bends away from the normal when travelling from air
    into water.
    3. Glass has a larger refractive index than air.
    4. To an observer above water, objects under water appear deeper in the water.

    B. Multiple Choice Questions (3 marks)

    1. In the diagram below, a light ray is striking a rectangular glass block in air. Which of the
    following best represents the emergent ray from the glass block?

    2. As shown below, a man is looking at a fish in a lake. He sees that the fish is at position I.
    Which of the following positions is the fish actually at?

    B I C
    D
    3. In the following diagrams, the light rays travel from air into other media (I, II, III or IV).
    In which diagram is the refractive index of the medium the largest?

    C. D.

    C. Conventional Questions (23 marks)

    1. A ray of light travels from air to medium X as shown.

    air 47
    X 67

    (a) Find
    (i) the angle of incidence, (1 mark)

    (ii) the angle of refraction, and (1 mark)

    (iii) the refractive index of X. (2 marks)

    (b) Which medium, air or X, is optically denser? Explain briefly. (2 marks)

    2. State the Laws of Refraction. (2 marks)


    3. Kate performs an experiment to investigate total internal reflection of light. She uses a ray
    box to direct a ray of light towards the curved edge of a semicircular glass block as shown.

    The following result is obtained


     0° 10° 15° 20° 25° 30° 35° 40°
     0° 14.9° 22.5° 30.4° 38.7° 47.7° 58.1° 72.0°

    (a) Finish the following table and plot a graph of sin  against sin . (5 marks)
    sin 
    sin 

    (b) Find the slope of the graph and state its physical meaning. (2 marks)
