1. Describe the pathway of light through the eye and the process of light refraction. 4 points Light enters through the cornea‚ which is the first step in refraction. The iris then modulates the amount of the light that enters the eye. The light then passes through the pupil‚ which regulates light entry into the inner eye and brings objects into focus. Light then then passes through the lens which focuses the light on the retina (made of rods and cones). The retina turns light into nerve impulses

or transmission of sound (from the source to the ear). In the process of the movement of the sound the chest piece first refracts the sound waves of the heart. The stethoscope that I built had an open space so it didn’t need to do any sound wave refraction to transmit sound the sound wave had to only get in. Then inside the chest piece the sound gets reflected causing multiples echoes to blend making a higher sound: reverberation. Then it moves in the inside of the tube to the ear with a higher sound

Experiment to Verify Snell’s Law of Refraction and to Estimate the Speed of Light inside a Transparent Plastic Block 1. Preparation: a) Read about refraction of waves and Snell’s Law. b) Find the relation between the refractive index of a medium and the speed of light in that medium. c) Read about total internal reflection; especially the definition of the “critical angle of incidence”. 2. Using the special apparatus provided‚ measure the angles of refraction corresponding to a wide range of angles

To find Refractive Indices of Water And Turpentine Oil using a plane mirror‚ a equiconvex lens (made from a glass of known refractive index) and an adjustable object needle APPARATUS: A convex lens‚ an optical needle‚ a plane mirror‚ a clamp stand‚ a spherometer‚ a plumb line‚ metre scale‚ water and turpentine oil Theroy : Let’s add small amount of water on a flat‚ plane surface and place a convex lens over it. This forms a plano-concave lens of water between the lower surface of convex lens and

Water Affects Its Refractive Index? 1. Introduction 1.1 Background Why do object when placed in a bucket of water bend? This is not magic but it is a property of light known as refraction. The bending of light when it travels from one medium to another is known as refraction. Different mediums have different densities and density is defined as the amount of mass per unit volume. The higher the density‚ the higher is the number of particles in a given volume. Therefore as

Chapter 13 – States of Matter Pressure (P) – the amount of force per unit area. Pressure=F/a or P=F/a Pascal’s Principle “Any change in pressure at a point on a confined fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid”. Any change is transmitted throughout the fluid. Buoyancy & Archimedes Principle “When an object is submerged in a fluid‚ it displaces a certain volume of that fluid. The amount of force pushing upward on the object is equal to the density of the fluid (Ï) times the acceleration

THE EYE. The normal sighted human eye perceives an object which is ‘described’ by light rays and how they are bent by it . Usually‚ the image of the object is picked up on the retina‚ on the area of the Central Forea as an upside down picture which is then ‘righted’ by the brain in order that the object may be seen. Different distanced objects are perceived by the eye and the lens is the part that makes this possible. Objects which are close to the eye are seen by the eyes’s lens becoming thicker
