Wave assignment

Antoni Staszkiewicz

What is reflection and how does it happen?

Reflection is when waves bounce off a surface. If a surface is flat, the angle at which the wave hits the surface will be the same as the angle at which it leaves the angle, which is called the angle of incidence. This is known as the law of reflection.

What is refraction and how does it happen?

Refraction of Light

One of the properties of a wave is that they are able to bend. This happens when a wave enters a new medium and its speed changes. The amount of bending depends on the medium it is entering.

What is diffraction and how does it happen ?

Diffraction of Light

Diffraction is the bending of waves around an object. The amount of bending depends on the size of the obstacle and the size of the waves.

Large obstacle, small wavelength= low diffraction

Small obstacle, large wavelength= large diffraction

What is dispersion of light and how does it happen?

Dispersion of Light

Thanks to Sir Issac Newton, we know that visible light is actually made up of many different colors. When a prism is held up and a ray of light goes through the prism, the colors are dispersed and the colors of the rainbow are visible. This is dispersion of light.
