UNDERSTANDING REFLECTION OF LIGHT

The Laws Of Reflection

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

When light strikes a surface, reflection will occur. The light ray that strikes the surface of the mirror is called incident ray. The light ray that bounces off from the surface of the mirror is known as the reflected ray. Normal is a line perpendicular to the mirror surface where the reflection occurs. The angle between the incident ray and the normal is called the angle of incidence, i. The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is called the angle of reflection, r. When a ray of light undergoes reflection, it obeys the laws of reflection. (a) The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal all lie in the same plane. (b) The angle of incidence, i, is equal to the angle of reflection, r.

The following stapes show how to draw the ray diagram for the formation of an image by a plane mirror. (a) Consider an object O placed in front of plane mirror. (b) Measure the distance between the object O and the mirror. Measure the same distance behind the mirror and mark the positions as the image, I (c) Draw the diverging ray from a point on the image, to the corner of the eye. The rays from the image to the mirror must be dotted to show that they are virtual. (d) Finally, draw two diverging rays from the object to the mirror to meet the diverging rays from the image.

Curved Mirrors

1.

There are two types of curved mirrors, (a) convex mirror which curves inwards (b) concave mirror which curves outwards

2.

On a concave mirror, the rays that are parallel and close to the main axis ______________ to point F ( focal point) and the distance FP is known as the focal length of the concave mirror.

On convex mirror, parallel ray that are close to main axis, _______________ from the surface of reflection. The ray are seen diverge from a point F (main focus) behind the mirror. The distance FP is known as the focal length of the convex mirror.

Common terminology of curved mirror. A curved mirror actually a spherical mirror.

-

The centre of curvature, C of a curved mirror is the centre of sphere of the mirror. The distance between the centre of curvature, C and the surface of the mirror is called the radius of curvature, R. Pole of mirror, P is the centre point on the curved mirror. The focal length, f is FP (FP = ½ CP) The focal point, F of a concave mirror is the point on the principle axis where all the reflected rays meet and converge. Real focus for concave mirror and virtual focus for convex mirror. The connecting line from the centre of curvature to point P is called the principle axis. Object distance, u is the distance of object from the pole of the mirror, P. Image distance, v is the distance of image from the pole of the mirror, P.

Mark the surface of the mirror, P, C and F (CF equals to FP). OP is the object distance and FP is the focal length. (b) Draw a line through the centre of curvature, C from the top of the object. (c) Draw another line parallel to the principle axis to meet the surface of the mirror from the top of the object. (d) For a convex mirror, the parallel ray that strikes the surface of the mirror will be reflected outwards from the focal point, F whereas the ray will be reflected towards focal point, F for a concave mirror.

Application Of Reflection Of Light 1.

Mirror in a meter Plane mirrors are normally used in electrical meter instruments such as the voltmeter, ammeter and the galvanometer as anti-parallax mirrors to avoid parallax errors. Accurate reading is obtained when the image of the pointer is directly below the pointer itself.

-

2.

Mirror in a car By the principle of reflection of light, a plane mirror is also used as a rear view mirror and a side mirror of a car in order to enable the driver to see object at the back and at the side of the car.

3.

Parabolic mirrors are used in car headlamps as reflection. The word ‘ambulance’ purposely inverted laterally on an ambulance car. When a driver of car in front of the ambulance looks in his car rear view mirror, he will able to see a readable version.

Periscope consists of two plane mirror inclined at an angle of 450. It can be used to see the top of high obstacle such as a wall. It is also used inside a submarine.

4.

If the object is placed in front of a concave mirror between F and P, a virtual, magnified and upright image is produced. Therefore, it is used as shaving mirror and dentist’s mirror.

5.

Convex mirror are used as safety mirrors which are fixed at dangerous bends to help drivers to see vehicles that are hidden from view.

6.

The image produced by convex mirror is always virtual, smaller and upright. Therefore convex mirror are used (a) in cars as the mirrors for driving. (b) at sharp corners and at parking lots as a safety precaution. (c) in supermarket for safety purposes.

Total Internal Reflection Total internal reflection is ______________________________________________ ___________________, when the ____________________ in the optically denser medium exceeds a ________________________. Critical angle is ____________________________________ where the refracted angle is ____ away from the normal line when the ray is travel from _____________ medium to a ___________________ medium. (i.e. from glass to air ).

Critical Angle and Total Internal Reflection

When the angle of incidence in the glass is increased, the results obtained are as follows: Small angle of incidence, e.g. 200, there is a strong refracted ray OCD and a week reflected ray OP in the glass.

As the angle of incidence in the glass is increased, the angle of refraction in the air increases. At one special angle of incidence, called the critical angle, c, the refracted ray OG is 900. A weak reflected ray is obtained, making an angle, c with normal ON.

When the angle of incidence is greater than c no refracted ray is obtained. Instead, a new effect is seen. The reflected ray in the glass is now almost as bright as the incident ray in the glass. The glass-air boundary thus behaves as a ‘mirror’ reflecting light strongly. This is explained the total internal reflection phenomenon. [animation]

Natural Phenomena Involving Total Internal Reflection Mirage

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

In hot days, a person travelling in a car will see an imaginary pool of water appearing on the surface of the road. The layers of air near the ground are hotter and ______________. The layers higher up are cooler and ______________. Light ray from the sky _______________ from the normal. The angle of incidence increases until it reaches an angle ______________ than the critical angle. __________________ occurs and the light is reflected ______________ If the observer’s eye is in the correct position, he will see a pool of water (image of the sky) appearing on the road surface. This is known as a ________________.

A mirage can also be observed during sunset.

Fish’s Eye View

1. 2.

A fish is able to see an object above the water surface because the rays of light from the object are refracted to the eyes of the fish. Due to total internal reflection, part of the water surface acts as a perfect mirror, which allows the fish to see objects in the water and the objects around obstacles. 13

Applications of Total Internal Reflection Prism Periscope

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Diagram 1 A periscope is made up of two prisms which are placed as shown above. (In diagram 1, draw the arrangement of the two prisms and compete the path of the light ray from the object to the observer’s eye) The light ray from the object does not experience refraction from the surface PQ, QR, ST and TV because the ray passes through the normal. Since the angle of incidence for ray OA is 450 and it exceeds the critical angle of 420, thus there is an occurrence of total internal reflection at point A. The same situation also occurs at the points B, C and D. The image that is seen through a prism periscope is clear than a mirror periscope because all of the light is reflected.

Binoculars Draw the arrangement of the two prisms and compete the path of the light ray from the object to the observer’s eye

1. 2.

A pair of binocular uses two prisms which are arranged as shown above. Light rays will be totally reflected internally in a pair of binoculars.

Fibre Optics

1.

It consists of a tubular rod which is made from glass and other transparent material.

2.

The external wall of a fibre optic is less dense than the internal wall.

3.

When light rays travel from a denser internal wall to a less dense external wall at an angle that exceeds the critical angle, total internal reflection occurs.

4.

This will continue occurring until the light rays enter the observer’s eyes.

5.

Fibre optics in endoscopes can be used to predict the state of an organ inside a human body.

6.

Optical fibre is widely use in telecommunication cables. It can transmit signal faster and through long distance with high fidelity.
