To understand the basics of reflection and refraction
... • A surface is defined to be a point where the index of refraction changes. • The most common form of this is when you have 2 different types of materials – such as air, glass, water, ect. • For each the speed of light is different. • When the light enters the material the speed changes but the rest ...

... The fibre output is a cone of light that spreads out wider as the distance from the fibre exit increases. The grid slide or screen and ruler can be used to measure diameters. The edges of the cone of light may appear fuzzy so there will be an error introduced into your measurements. Measurement of t ...

Retroreflector
A retroreflector (sometimes called a retroflector or cataphote) is a device or surface that reflects light back to its source with a minimum of scattering. In a retroreflector an electromagnetic wavefront is reflected back along a vector that is parallel to but opposite in direction from the wave's source. The angle of incidence at which the device or surface reflects light in this way is greater than zero, unlike a planar mirror, which does this only if the mirror is exactly perpendicular to the wave front, having a zero angle of incidence.
