Oscillations and Waves · Semester 1

Wave Reflection and Refraction

Investigate how waves change direction when encountering boundaries or changing mediums.

Key Questions

  1. Explain the laws of reflection for light waves.
  2. Analyze how refraction causes light to bend when passing from one medium to another.
  3. Predict the path of a light ray as it enters a different medium.
