The document discusses the concept of light refraction. It begins by reviewing how light travels, the maximum speed of light, and what happens to light's speed when moving between different transparent mediums. It then explains that refraction occurs when light passes at an angle from one medium to another, causing the light's speed and direction to change. Specifically, light bends toward the normal when entering a denser medium, and away from the normal when entering a less dense medium. The document concludes by summarizing the key points about refraction and having students practice identifying terms related to how refraction occurs.

1. “The world looks so different
after learning science.”
Richard Feynman

2. Refraction of Light

3. Learning out comes
• By the of the lesson SS will be able to
• Use the materials and tools to investigate and
prove the concept of light refraction
• Identify the conditions of light refraction.

4. Necessary Review
• How does light travel?
Light travels in straight lines.
• Through what substances can light travel?
Transparent or translucent objects only.
• What’s the max speed of light?
300000Km/sec
• Through all mediums?
No, through vacuum or air only.
• What happens to the speed of light when it
moves from air to another transparent medium?
The speed of light will be reduced.

5. When & why the light refraction happen?
When a light ray passes at
an angle( obliquely) from
one medium to anther
medium
When that happen the
speed of the light ray
change.
The change in speed causes
the rays to bend, or change
direction.
Notice
Light is refracted if the
incident ray is not at 90°
to the surface of the
medium.

6. How dose the refraction of light happen?
• When a ray light
enters:
• A more dense
medium (slower
speed )  refracted
ray bends toward the
normal
• A less dense
medium (faster
speed ) 
refracted ray
bends away from
the normal

7. Concept checking
• What is it called when light bends as it moves
from one substance to another
• When light passes through air into glass, its
angle of refraction is less than its angle of
incidence. T or F
• T ….
• Why?

8. Summary
• Refraction is bending of
light when passing from
one medium to another
• When a ray light enters:
• A more dense medium
(slower speed ) 
refracted ray bends toward
the normal
• A less dense medium
(faster speed ) 
refracted ray bends
away from the normal

9. Pair working
With your partner use thesis words to answer
the question 1-5(a-k) in next slide :
(increased– decreased- more than - less than –
refraction – speed- direction- towards into-
away from )
Don’t use any term more than once.
There are 3 extra terms.
You have 5 minutes to finish your work.

11. Individual work
• On the diagram below mark in the normal, the
general path of the refracted ray, the angle of
incidence and the angle of refraction.
