3 Analysing Refraction of Waves

NAME:
CLASS:
Q1. Refraction of Water Waves
Waves travel faster in deep water than in shallow water. If the water waves move toward the
right, complete the follow diagram. Show the incident ray, refracted ray, normal, wavelengths
before/after the refraction, and the wavefronts of the refracted water waves.

Q2. Refraction of Sound Waves

Sound travels at a ____________ speed in cold air because cool air is ________________ than hot air.

During the day, the ground is warmer than the

air, the sound waves travels ____________ near
the ground. The sound waves is bent away
when propagates from
____________________________________________.

During the night, the ground is cooler than the

air, the sound waves travels ____________ near
the ground. The sound waves is bent away
when propagates from
____________________________________________.
A part of sound is reflected towards the ground
due to ________________________________________.

Q3. Refraction of Light

Statements
The speed of light increases as it propagates from glass to air.
When a ray propagates from one medium to an optically less dense medium,
the ray refracts towards normal.
When light travels between two mediums with different optical densities, it
changes speed and bends.
