11.2 CHECK and REFLECTKey Concept Review1. When is light travelling at its fastest?2. What is dispersion?3. Under what conditions can you slow downlight and then speed it up again?4. Describe how light changes its direction whenmoving from one medium to another.5. Copy the following diagram into yournotebook. Label all the lines and angles.Connect Your Understanding11. Determine the refractive index of a medium ifthe speed of light slows to 1.2 10 8 m/s.12. Jade has a refractive index of 1.61. If lightapproaches the gem at an angle of 80.0°, whatis the angle of refraction?13. A student is given a clear material to identify.She shines a laser at the surface of thematerial at an angle of 25.0°. The angle of therefracted ray is 16.7°. What material is it?14. Calculate the index of refraction of a materialif the angle of incidence is 60° and the angleof refraction is 50°.15. A light ray passes from a vacuum into asubstance where its speed is 2.26 10 8 m/s.What is the substance?Question 56. What property of a medium is given by itsindex of refraction?7. Through which medium does light pass morequickly, one with a refractive index of 2.0 orone with a refractive index of 3.0?8. (a) What is total internal reflection?(b) When does it occur?9. (a) What is the formula for Snell’s law?(b) Explain how you would calculate thechanging speed of light using Snell’s law.10. Describe how Snell’s law can be used todescribe the bending of light toward and awayfrom the normal.16. A super-dense material called a“Bose-Einstein condensate” has a refractiveindex of 1.76 10 7 . What is the speed oflight in this material?17. How do reflection and refraction affect lightsimilarly?18. How do reflection and refraction affect lightdifferently?19. Why is it not possible to have an index ofrefraction less than 1.0?Reflection20. (a) What do you think is the most interestinginformation you learned in this section?(b) How does this information connect withwhat you already knew about the subject?21. What scientific terms do you understandbetter now than you did before you read thissection?For more questions, go to ScienceSource.Ray diagrams model the behaviour of light in mirrors and lenses.447
