Questions:1. Identify the shallow and deep water as shown on this photo of waves taken from a
ripple tank.
2. The following diagrams show three wavefronts passing from shallow water intodeep water. Complete the diagram to show the direction of the wavefronts aftercrossing the boundary.
3. a) On the diagram below show the direction of the wavefront as it passes over the
boundary XY.
b) Is the wave passing into deeper or shallower water?

LAWS OF REFRACTION
11
REFRACTIVE INDEXFor light rays moving from a vacuum into a given
medium.
12
REFRACTIVE INDEXRefractive index of some common materials.
Substances with high refractive index tend to refract light rays more.
