    Chapter 12: Light Waves

    1 Refraction occurs at a boundary between two media. Explain why refraction occurs and what you
    would expect to see if a ray of light was travelling from air into glass.

    2 A student is provided with a rectangular glass block, a protractor, a ray box and a power supply.
    Describe an investigation the student can conduct to determine the refractive index of the glass.

    3 a State the equation for refractive index.

    b In an experiment to determine the refractive index of water, a student measures the angle of
    incidence to be 45°. The refractive index of water is 1.33. What is the angle of refraction that
    was recorded?

    4 a State the equation linking refractive index and the critical angle of a material.

    b Calculate the critical angle for glass if the refractive index of glass is 1.5.

    c Explain the conditions for when total internal reflection occurs inside a semi-circular glass
    block.

    d State one application of total internal reflection.
