− | ==Outcomes==
| |
− | * Pupils understand the phenomenon of total internal reflection.
| |
− | * Pupils understand the role of critical angle in TIR.
| |
− | * Pupils recall uses of TIR.
| |
− | ==[[Specifications|Specification]] References==
| |
− | * '''3.14''' recall that light waves are transverse waves which can be reflected, refracted and diffracted
| |
− | * '''3.20''' describe the role of total internal reflection in transmitting information along optical fibres and in prisms
| |
− | * '''3.21''' recall the meaning of critical angle ''c''

− | ==Main Body of Lesson==
| |
− | * Remind pupils how to set up rayboxes.
| |
− | * Hand out rectangular blocks.
| |
− | * Have pupils try to get a beam to "reflect inside the block". This shouldn't take long.
| |
− | * Collect in rectangular blocks and replace with semicircular prisms.
| |
− | * Have pupils line up ray of light so that angle of incidence is 0°ree; and then rotate through 90°ree;, maintaining the "exit" point of the ray as centre of the flat side of the prism (this makes more sense with a diagram).
