By incorporating these strategies and activities, educators can effectively teach 10th graders about reflection and refraction of waves, helping them understand and appreciate these fundamental concepts and their applications in the real world.

The color of the rays is to help distinguish the rays, and is not meant to indicate any color dependence. (CC BY-SA 3.0; Clément 421138).

      Rays, or beams of light, can travel in three ways: directly from a source, through a material, or indirectly by reflection.

      In this section we explore three phenomena that result from a light wave encountering a boundary between two different media.

In a plane mirror, the image will be the same size as the object and will be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. For a plane mirror, the image will be the same size as the object and will be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror.

      Since \(n_{R}>n_{l}\), the speed of light in the right-hand medium is less than in the left-hand medium. (Recall that the speed of light in a medium with refractive index \(n\) is \(C_{\text {medium }...Since \(n_{R}>n_{l}\), the speed of light in the right-hand medium is less than in the left-hand medium. (Recall that the speed of light in a medium with refractive index \(n\) is \(C_{\text {medium }}=c_{\text {Yac }} / n_{\text {. }}\)) The frequency of the wave packet doesn’t change as it passes through the interface, so the wavelength of the light on the right side is less than the wavelength on the left side.

      The law of reflection states that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.

      Thin film interference occurs when incident light waves reflected by the different layers of a thin film interfere and form a new wave.
