Ray Approximation
• The rays are straight lines perpendicular to the wave fronts
• With the ray approximation, we assume that a wave moving through a medium travels in a straight line in the direction of its rays

Diffraction depends on SLIT WIDTH: the smaller the width, relative to wavelength, the more bending and diffraction.
We will assume that λ<<d , where d is the diameter of the opening. This approximation is good for the study of mirrors, lenses, prisms, etc.
Light Rays: Ignore Diffraction and Interference of waves!

Following the Reflected and Refracted Rays
•Ray is the incident ray. •Ray is the reflected ray. •Ray is refracted into the lucite. •Ray is internally reflected in the lucite. •Ray is refracted as it enters the air from the lucite. Section 35.5

Law of Reflection • The normal is a line
perpendicular to the surface – It is at the point where the
incident ray strikes the surface
• The incident ray makes an angle of θ1 with the normal
• The reflected ray makes an angle of θ1’ with the normal

Specular Reflection
• Specular reflection is reflection from a smooth surface
• The reflected rays are parallel to each other
• All reflection in this text is assumed to be specular

Diffuse Reflection
• Diffuse reflection is reflection from a rough surface
• The reflected rays travel in a variety of directions
• A surface behaves as a smooth surface as long as the surface variations are much smaller than the wavelength of the light

Why are most materials Opaque? (Opaque – Can’t see through)
They absorb light without re-emitting it. Vibrations given by the light to their atoms and molecules are turned into random kinetic energy – they become slightly warmer.

Opacity: Mirrors Free electrons in opaque reflective surfaces
can vibrate, absorb & re-emit at any frequency.

Atoms are Optical Tuning Forks Light slows down as it travels through
glass because it takes time to be absorbed and re-emitted.

Frequency Doesn’t Change!
• As light travels from one medium to another, its frequency does not change – Both the wave speed and
the wavelength do change – The wavefronts do not
pile up, nor are created or destroyed at the boundary, so ƒ must stay the same

Snell’s Law – Example
Light is refracted into a crown glass slab. n1 = 1.00 and n2 = 1.52
If θ1 = 30.0o, θ2 = ? θ2 = sin-1(n1 / n2) sin θ1 = 19.2o The ray bends toward the normal,
as expected because n2 > n1

• Plastic or glass rods are used to “pipe” light from one place to another
• Applications include: – medical use of fiber optic
cables for diagnosis and correction of medical problems
– Telecommunications • A flexible light pipe is called an
optical fiber • A bundle of parallel fibers

Why does Violet Light bend more than Red Light?
Violet light slows down more because the atoms in the material are tuned to higher frequencies. As the violet light travels
through glass it takes more time to be absorbed and re-emitted.

•Since all the colors have different angles of deviation, white light will spread out into a spectrum.
– Violet deviates the most.
– Red deviates the least. – The remaining colors
are in between.

Angle of Deviation • Since all the colors
have different angles of deviation, white light will spread out into a spectrum – Violet deviates the most – Red deviates the least – The remaining colors are
in between

Dispersion: Raindrops Act like Prisms
• A ray of light strikes a drop of water in the atmosphere
• It undergoes both reflection and refraction – First refraction at the
front of the drop • Violet light will
deviate the most • Red light will deviate
the least

The Rainbow • At the back surface the light is
reflected • It is refracted again as it
returns to the front surface and moves into the air
• The rays leave the drop at various angles – The angle between the white
light and the most intense violet ray is 40°
– The angle between the white light and the most intense red ray is 42°

Observing the Rainbow
• If a raindrop high in the sky is observed, the red ray is seen • A drop lower in the sky would direct violet light to the
observer • The other colors of the spectra lie in between the red and
the violet

The droplets form a circular arc, with each droplet within the arc dispersing light and reflecting it back towards the observer with the greatest concentration of outgoing rays found at these 40-42 degree angles of deviation. Every droplet within the arc is refracting and dispersing the entire visible light spectrum (ROYGBIV).

Rainbow facts • an observer is in a position to see only a single color from any
one droplet of water. • your rainbow is slightly different from the rainbow seen by
others • your rainbow moves with you • disk within the bow is brighter because of overlapping of
multiple refractions (which don’t occur outside the disk)

A line drawn from your eye to the top of the rainbow forms a 42-degree angle with the imaginary line from the sun through your eye. (If there is a secondary rainbow, it forms an angle of 51-degrees). Because these angles determine the position of the rainbow in the sky, it will sink as the sun rises and rise as the sun sinks. At some points, the entire rainbow, not just the bottom half, will be below the horizon where you can't see it. That's why you'll never see a summer rainbow at midday.

Double Rainbow
• The secondary rainbow is fainter than the primary
• The secondary rainbow arises from light that makes two reflections from the interior surface before exiting the raindrop
• Higher-order rainbows are possible, but their intensity is low

• Halos are caused by the light of the sun or moon passing through a very thin layer of cirruform (ice-crystal) clouds in the upper atmosphere. The ice crystals refract the light of the moon, similar to the way water droplets in the lower atmosphere can refract sunlight to produce a rainbow. Just like a rainbow, strong halos can have bands of color in them, due to slightly different refractive properties of the ice crystals for different colors. Essentially, halos ARE rainbows caused by primary refraction in ice crystals.
• Some interesting facts about halos: Halos always occur exactly 22 degrees away from the sun or moon. Occasionally, intense halos can be double halos, just as intense rainbows can be doubled. Intense halos can also produce "moondogs" or "sundogs," very bright regions on the halo evenly spaced at 90 degree intervals around the halo.

Interference in Thin Films • The wavelength of ray 1 in the
film is λ/n • For constructive interference
2t = (m + ½) λ/n (m = 0, 1, 2 …) This takes into account both the
difference in optical path length for the two rays and the 180° phase change
• For destructive interference 2t = mλ/n (m = 0, 1, 2 …)

Galileo
In the early 17th century, many scientists believed that there was no such thing as the "speed of light"; they thought light could travel any distance in no time at all. Galileo disagreed, and he came up with an experiment to measure light's velocity: he and his assistant each took a shuttered lantern, and they stood on hilltops one mile apart. Galileo flashed his lantern, and the assistant was supposed to open the shutter to his own lantern as soon as he saw Galileo's light. Galileo would then time how long it took before he saw the light from the other hilltop. The problem was that the speed of light is simply too fast to be measured this way; light takes such a short time (about 0.000005 seconds, in fact) to travel one mile that there's no way the interval could have been measured using the tools Galileo had.

The Speed of Light? • 186,000 miles per second • 300,000 kilometers per second • 3 x 108 m/s • first successfully determined by
Danish astronomer Ole Roemer in 1675: 2.3 x 108 m/s
• First Terrestrial Measurement by Fizeau in 1849: 2.9979 x 108 m/s
• In 1926, Michelson used a rotating prism to measure the time it took light to make a round trip from Mount Wilson to Mount San Antonio in California, a distance of about 22 miles (36 km). The precise measurements yielded a speed of 186,285 miles per second (299,796 kilometres per second).

Huygens’s Principle Construction for a Plane Wave
• Huygens assumed that light is a form of wave motion rather than a stream of particles
• All points on a given wave front are taken as point sources for the production of spherical secondary waves, called wavelets, which propagate outward through a medium with speeds characteristic of waves in that medium
• After some time has passed, the new position of the wave front is the surface tangent to the wavelets
