and convex mirror to determine the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection for a light rays reflection on these mirrors, seen in Procedure A. In the second part of this experiment we used a light source, a three-way mirror, a rhombus prism, and a protractor to measure angles of a light ray. All of these instruments and devices were used to examine the relationship of the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction for a light ray passing through a rhombus prism

will examine the effects of a light ray reflecting at different angles of incident from a convex, flat, and convex mirror. In the second part a light ray will be refracted through a rhombus prism at different angles of incidence. We will measure the angles using a protractor. For the third experiment we will examine the indices of colors as light is refracted through the rhombus. Lastly, we will use polar lens to examine Brewster’s angle and polarization. THEORY PART A: REFLECTION When a light ray

Alyssa Kordvani Mrs. Lila Patel Biology – Period 4 27 October 2014 Snell’s Law – The Law of Refraction Snell’s law is a formula used to express the relationship involving the angles of incidence and refraction, when referring to a wave impinging through a boundary between two different isotropic media. The law follows from the boundary condition that a wave is continuous across a boundary, which requires that the phase of the wave be constant on any given plane. The law of refraction was

in nature, but it can be broken down by drawing rays that demonstrates the direction of the wave propagation. The use of the waves, allow individuals to decipher the common features of reflection, which includes a basic relation between angle of incidence and angle of reflection for the radiation that is in reflection from a surface. The meaning

Critical Angle & Total Internal Reflection Kate Graham Partner: Samantha Dekart Monday, November 9, 2015 SNC2D Ms. Vink Purpose: See attached sheet, labelled “SNC2D Lab Sheet”. Related Theory: Law of Reflection: Reflection and refraction are common properties of light. When a ray of light comes into contact with the surface of some material, part of the ray is reflected and part of it is absorbed. In other words, reflection occurs

of the light ray which results to a change in the direction of the ray (Kwon, 2015). Once light travels from air to water, it slows down as it come across the denser medium. This is a problem if all light rays could cross the dividing line at right angles. Refraction can be encountered when light travels from air to

that is used to describe the relationship between the angles of refraction and incidence when talking about light waves passing through two different mediums. This is also known as the calculation of what degree the light will bend. The degree to which light bends, or refracts, depends on the incidence angle entering the second material as well as the speed at which the light travels through the two materials. An angle of incidence is the angle at which light enters a translucent or transparent material

experiments were performed to explain the concepts of reflection, refraction, dispersion and Brewster’s angle. The purpose of the first experiment is to analyze the incidence and reflection angle to understand how light reflects off a flat, convex, or concave mirror. In the second experiment a light ray is passed through a rhombus prism to discover the relationship between the angle of refraction and incidence. For the third experiment calculations were made to find indices for the color of light that passed

aperture radar (SAR) and radiometer modes of the Magellan spacecraft. Also, the transmission method of data from Earth to the spacecraft and vice-versa is discussed. The incidence angle effects on the cross-track resolution and signal to noise ratio are analyzed. The simple models of the cross-track resolution versus the incidence angle of the SAR and radiometer modes are derived. The function of the Venus surface emissivity is presented. Next, the resolution element size (pixel size) is modeled as the
