LIGHT
Refraction is the change in direction of light when it passes from one medium to another.
![Page 4: chapter 10 - refraction of light (na)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062303/554a5a84b4c905522f8b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
LIGHT
If light ray enters another medium perpendicular to boundary, the ray does not bend.

LIGHT
During refraction, light bends first on passing
from air to glass and again on passing from
the glass to the air.

Light slows down when it enters an optically denser medium. The refracted ray bends towards the normal when the second medium is optically more dense than the first.

LIGHT
The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal at the point of incidence all lie in the same plane.

The higher the optical density, the greater the refractive index. The greater the refractive index, the
greater the bending of light towards the normal.

If light is incident upon a piece of glass (refractive index 1.52) at an angle of 45o, what is the angle of
refraction?

LIGHT
The critical angle is the angle of incidence in the optically denser medium for which the angle of refraction is 90o.
When i = critical angle,c r = 90o.
![Page 24: chapter 10 - refraction of light (na)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062303/554a5a84b4c905522f8b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
LIGHT
This is called TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION.
When i > critical angle, the ray gets reflected internally.
![Page 25: chapter 10 - refraction of light (na)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062303/554a5a84b4c905522f8b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
LIGHT
For TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION to take place:
The light ray must travel from an optically denser medium towards a less dense one.
The angle of incidence must be greater than the critical angle.
