Total Internal Reflection n2 < n1 Light does not emerge
For Ray J, θ < θc For Ray K, θ = θc
For Ray L, θ > θc

Total Internal Reflection Used for Fiber Optics
Transmit information with light instead of electricity
Analog Signals vary the amplitude of the signalRadio, analog television
Digital SignalsLight On = 1Light Off = 0

Effects of Refraction Mirage – change in nair due to change
in tempLight ray aimed at road encounters
smaller nLight bent away from normalYou see light from sky, looks like a
puddle Sunrise, Sunset – sun’s image
refracted by earth’s atmosphere Object in liquid – appears closer to
surface than it is

Dispersion of Light ns depends on λ of light ns is greater for shorter λ
Violet light is bent more ns is smaller for longer λ
Red light is bent less
Dispersion – separation into spectrum by refraction

Dispersion of Light
Rainbows – dispersion in water droplets
Different light sources have different spectra
