Focused Questions:
What is the difference between reflection and refraction?
Why does light change direction when it moves from one medium to another (e.g., air
to water)?
What is the refractive index, and how does it relate to the speed of light in different
media?
Capturing students’ imagination.
Imagine the world around you – the way light bounces off a mirror to show
your reflection, or how it bends when passing through water, making
objects look distorted. From the way a pair of glasses corrects vision to the
intricate design of optical fibers that power global communication,
reflection and refraction are at work everywhere. How does understanding
how light reflects and refracts help us design better technology?
