PARTIAL REFRACTION AND
TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION
• Occurs as light reaches a boundary between
two media
• Some light is reflected and some is refracted
PARTIAL REFLECTION & REFRACTION
• As the angle of incidence
increases more light will
be reflected and less
refracted.
PARTIAL REFLECTION & REFRACTION
• During daytime driving,
the mirror is adjusted
so the light that hits
the mirror is directed
at the driver’s eyes.
• At night, the driver
can flip a switch that
tilts the mirror,
reducing the amount
of light directed at
the driver’s eyes.
REAR-VIEW MIRROR
• What happens when light tries to travel from plastic
(n=1.60) to air if the angle of incidence is 60 degrees?
n1 sin Ɵ1 = n2 sin Ɵ2
(1.60) sin (60°) = (1.00) sin Ɵ2
1.3856406461 = sin Ɵ2
sin-1 (1.3856406461) = Ɵ2
Error
TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION
TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION
Critical Angle: incident angle when the refracted angle is
exactly 90 degrees
Total Internal Reflection (TIR):
• occurs when the angle of incidence increases past the
critical angle.
• can ONLY occur when light travels from a more dense
medium to a less dense medium
• no longer any refraction and just reflection.
TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION
• Calculate the critical angle for a plexiglass -air
boundary. The index of refraction for
plexiglass is 1.51.
n1 sin Ɵ1 = n2 sin Ɵ2
(1.51) sin Ɵ1 = (1.00) sin (90)
(1.51) sin Ɵ1 = 1
sin Ɵ1 = 1
1.51
Ɵ1 = sin-1 (0.6622516556291391)
Ɵ1 = 41.5°
.: the critical angle is 41.5°
TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION
TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION
• The critical angle
between glass and air
is less than 45°
• The prisms shown
change the direction of
the incoming ray of
light
– A: 90 degrees
– B: 180 degrees
– C: back in the same
direction
TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION
• Binoculars
• Retroreflectors
APPLICATIONS OF TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION
Fiber optics:
• Contains a glass core
surrounded by cladding
made from another
type of glass that has a
lower index of
refraction.
• Such fibres achieve
total internal reflection,
which allows data to be
transmitted.
APPLICATIONS OF TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION
• Telecommunications
– signals are not affected by
electrical storms
– more signals can be carried
with less energy loss
– the cables are smaller and
lighter
• Medicine – Endoscopes
– One bundle carries light into
the required area, while
another bundle carries an
image of the area back to a
monitor.

Critical Angle: incident angle when the refracted angle is exactly 90 degrees Total Internal Reflection (TIR): • occurs when the angle of incidence increases past the critical angle. • can ONLY occur when light travels from a more dense medium to a less dense medium • no longer any refraction and just reflection. TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION
  • 8. • Calculate the critical angle for a plexiglass -air boundary. The index of refraction for plexiglass is 1.51. n1 sin Ɵ1 = n2 sin Ɵ2 (1.51) sin Ɵ1 = (1.00) sin (90) (1.51) sin Ɵ1 = 1 sin Ɵ1 = 1 1.51 Ɵ1 = sin-1 (0.6622516556291391) Ɵ1 = 41.5° .: the critical angle is 41.5° TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION
  • 10. • The critical angle between glass and air is less than 45° • The prisms shown change the direction of the incoming ray of light – A: 90 degrees – B: 180 degrees – C: back in the same direction TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION
  • 11. • Binoculars • Retroreflectors APPLICATIONS OF TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION
  • 12. Fiber optics: • Contains a glass core surrounded by cladding made from another type of glass that has a lower index of refraction. • Such fibres achieve total internal reflection, which allows data to be transmitted. APPLICATIONS OF TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION
  • 13. • Telecommunications – signals are not affected by electrical storms – more signals can be carried with less energy loss – the cables are smaller and lighter • Medicine – Endoscopes – One bundle carries light into the required area, while another bundle carries an image of the area back to a monitor.
