Direction: Answer the questions comprehensively and concise. Use a separate sheet of paper
for your answer.
1)State Snell’s law.
Snell's Law, also known as the Law of Refraction, is an equation that relates the angle of the
incident light and the angle of the transmitted light at the interface of two different mediums.
Snell's Law can be applied to all materials, in all phases of matter. Most people are familiar
with Snell's Law because of the apparent shortening of their legs that is observed when
standing in water. Another commonly recognized example of refraction in a material is
diamonds. The many facets of the cut diamond combined with a high index of refraction give
diamonds the brilliance that they are known for. Snell's Law is especially important for optical
devices, such as fiber optics. Snell's Law states that the ratio of the sine of the angles of
incidence and transmission is equal to the ratio of the refractive index of the materials at the
interface.
2) Explain the dispersion of light.
Snell's Law states that the ratio of the angles of incidence and refraction is equal to the
inverse ratio of the indices of refraction . Refraction of light waves explains the dispersion of
white light when it passes through a prism.
3) Which has a greater optical density, water or air? When light crosses over from water to air,
does it bend towards or away from the normal?
Since the light is passing from air (less dense) into water (more dense), it is bent towards the
normal. The beam of light would appear to bend at the surface of the water. Figure (c): Place
a mirror at the bottom of the glass of water and again shine the light into the glass of water at
an angle.
4) Explain the phenomenon called total internal reflection?
Here the angle of refraction is 90 degrees. When the angle of incidence is greater than the
critical angle, the incident ray is reflected back to the medium . We call this phenomenon total
internal reflection.
5) How does polarization reduce glare?
Polarized lenses mitigate glare by using a chemical film either applied to or embedded in the
lenses. The chemical filter on polarized sunglasses removes glare by absorbing the incoming horizontal
light, while still allowing vertical light. What we perceived as glare is usually reflected horizontal light.
Deepen Performance Tasks
A. Poet/Composer/Artist: Launch an art exhibit that focuses on light. To synchronize the
materials, the theme “Life without light” shall be considered in the poems, songs, paintings, or
photographs that they will be submitting for the event.
Life Without Light
Will we be blinded by the darkness if left too long?
Will God keep us strong?
Unable to see the glorious light of the good news.
Forever trapped in our blues.
In our hearts shines the light.
To know the glory of God and the gospel found in Jesus Christ.
Imagine a life without light.
Would the absolute darkness when we close our eyes
give us fright?
We struggle, stumble, settle, shuffle. Keeping us in a kerfuffle.
Vision being about
illumination,
identification,
imagination,
building a peaceful nation.
Where there is no vision,
the people persist.
Why not create peace, love and light in the world to cherish?
Light can provide clarity.
In a lost society.
The rudder in society is the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ.
To call us to walk the road to do what is right.
God empowered people by His spirit.
It's up to people about what to do with it.
Turn from darkness to light.
For without light, there would be no life.
