Describe how the direction light ray changes as it enters the air.


Important Questions on Light
Look at the diagram of a glass block surrounded by air. The incident ray is shown.
Think about what happens at point X. Draw a normal at X and the path of the refracted ray inside the glass block.

Look at the diagram of a glass block surrounded by air. The incident ray is shown.
Add the label 'Y' where your first refracted glass ray leaves the glass block.

Look at the diagram of a glass block surrounded by air. The incident ray is shown.
Think about what happens at the point you have labelled Y. Draw a normal at Y and the path of the refracted ray through the air to the right of the glass block.

Look at the diagram of a glass block surrounded by air. The incident ray is shown.
Add the label 'Z ' to the angle of refraction between the normal at Y and the refracted ray.

Look at the diagram of a glass block surrounded by air. The incident ray is shown.
State the connection between the original angle of incidence at point X and the final angle of refraction Z at point Y.

The diagram shows three large coloured lamps arranged one above the other. They shine through a thick glass block onto a screen.
The orange light ray shown hits the block at a right-angle. Complete the ray diagram for the orange light. Label the point on the screen where the ray arrives with the letter 'X'.
