This resource is a complete lesson that covers Refractive Index & Total Internal Reflection for the OCR A Level Physics A course. However, it is useful for other exam boards too.
This lesson teaches the following content:
-refraction of light
-refractive index; n = c/v
-n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2 at a boundary, where θ is the angle to the normal
-techniques and procedures used to investigate refraction and total internal reflection of light using ray boxes, including transparent rectangular and semi-circular blocks
-critical angle; sin C = 1/n
-total internal reflection for light.
This lesson includes:
-A full presentation including 4 example questions with worked solutions.
-A worksheet with model answers, perfect to set as homework.
-Clear visual aids and diagrams to simplify complex concepts.
-Editable PowerPoint and Word document for easy customisation.
