Demonstration: Refraction at an air-water interface and total internal reflection.
Practical Activity 14-16
Demonstration: Particles and waves refract differently. Only waves refract in the same way as light.
Total internal reflection (TIR) is a consequence of refraction.
Lesson 16-19
Almost all the light from the torch is reflected every time it hits the edge of the stream of water, so the light follows the...
