Working very hard on this but am being careful. I
stopped to put this presentation together but I might
get it done. Or not. Will be reviewed when returned.
All papers will be returned either Monday or at the
final exam. All grades will have been updated.

Light travel’s at a speed c in a vacuum.
In an actual material, it travels a bit slower, at a
velocity of v.
The speed of light depends on the material
through which it is traveling.
DEFINITION – INDEX OF REFRACTION (or
refractive index):
velocityof light in a vacuum

Huygen’s
Principle
Each point on a wavefront acts
as a secondary source of spherical
waves that progress from the
source at the speed of light (whatever
it may be).
A spherical wave with very large radius,
behaves as a plane wave.

The Wave Nature of Light
 The law of refraction is explained by Huygen’s Principle
The little wavelets move slower in
medium 2 than in medium 1. Doing the
tangent shows how the wave fronts bend.

Let’s do some problems if we
have sufficient time….
• No, this is NOT a test!
• Follow the instructions on first
page.
• Do the other problems at home.
