- 1RefractionThe bending of light as it passes though a boundary between two transparent materials.
- 2Rules of Refraction- The higher the optical density, the slower light travels.
- light travels fastest in space
- Light travelling from a less optically dense medium to a more optical dense medium bends towards the normal and vis versa - 3dispersion of lightWhen white light hits a prism at 60 and disperses into its different colours.
- 4Rules of dispersion f light- order of colours - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
- Red light has the longest wavelength and is refracted the least
- violet light has the shortest wavelength and is refracted the most - 5ReflectionWhen a wave hits a barrier it is reflected.
