    Reflection and Refraction: Sir Manuel Antonio C. Eslao Iii

    This document discusses reflection and refraction of light. Reflection occurs when light bounces off surfaces and enters our eyes, allowing us to see objects. There are two laws of reflection: the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, and the incident, reflected, and normal rays are in the same plane. Reflection can be specular from smooth surfaces like mirrors, or diffuse from rough surfaces. Refraction is when light bends as it travels from one medium to another of different density, bending toward the normal if going to a denser medium.

    Reflection and Refraction

    SIR MANUEL ANTONIO C. ESLAO III


    • When light falls on objects, it reflects the light and when the reflected
    light reaches our eyes, this is when we see the objects.
    Reflection of light
    • When light falls on a highly polished surface like a mirror, most of the
    light is sent back into the same medium.

    • LAWS OF REFLECTION OF LIGHT


    • The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
    • The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the mirror at the
    point of incidence all lie in the same plane.
    •Characteristics of an image formed
    by plane mirrors:
    •Image size= Object size
    •Image distance from mirror= object
    distance from mirror
    •Image follows left-right reversal
    •Virtual image Is formed
    Two Types of Reflection
    • 1. Specular Reflection: occurs when parallel rays of light hit a smooth
    surface and is reflected uniformly or regularly. You can see yourself in
    the mirror because of specular reflection.
    Two Types of Reflection
    • 2. Diffuse reflection occurs when parallel beam of light strike uneven
    or coarse surfaces. Light reflected through diffuse reflection allows us
    to see most objects around us.
    IDENTIFY IF THE
    FOLLOWING SITUATIONS
    ARE AN EXAMPLE OF
    SPECULAR OR DIFFUSE
    REFLECTION.
    •1. Make up
    foundation.
    •2. Muddy water
    in the river.
    •3. Cellphone
    screen with no
    battery.
    •4. Opening a
    module.
    •5. Dusty polished
    hood of a jeepney.
    REFRACTION
    • When light travels obliquely from one
    transparent medium into another it gets bent.
    This bending of light is called refraction of light.
    When light travels from a rarer medium to a
    denser medium, it bends towards the normal.
    When light travels from a denser medium to a
    rarer medium to a rarer medium, it bends away
    from the normal.
