- 1Refraction in a glass blockRefraction is change of speed between two substances of different densities.
Less dense to more dense towards normal
More dense to less dense away from normal
- 2Wavefront diagramsSpread from centre
Connect all peaks produced on wave at same time
- 3Wavefront diagram for refractionFrequency stays same but wavelength gets smaller at bottom
Wave must have slowed down in the more dense substance
- 4Refraction in eyesEnter text here...

- 5Examples of how waves behave in different substancesSkin absorbs UV radiation but reflects visible light
Bones absorb X-rays but muscle and skin tissue transmits them - 6Convex lensesFound in telescopes, microscopes, cameras and eyes
Curved transparent block. Thicker in middle
- 7MagnificationMagnification = image/object
- 8Forming an imageAll rays of light from one point of object must be brought together at the same point on the image
RAYS CONVERGE - 9Concave lensesThe rays diverge
Image formed by diverging lense is always virtual, upright and diminished
