Snell’s law - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

IB-Physics-Core-Notes Topic 2 Mechanics 2.1 Kinematics 2.1.1 Define displacement, velocity, speed and acceleration. Displacement- Defined as the change in position of an object. Displacement is a quantity that has both direction and magnitude, it is a vector. Measured in metres. Speed- How far an object travels in a given time. Rate of change of distance (ms-1) Velocity- The vector version of speed. Tells us the magnitude of how fast an object is moving and the direction in wh...

Exam (elaborations) GIZMOS Student Exploration Refraction Student Exploration: Refraction Directions: Follow the instructions to go through the simulation. Respond to the questions and prompts in the orange boxes. Vocabulary: angle of incidence, angle of refraction, frequency, index of refraction, medium, refraction, Snell’s law, total internal reflection, wave front, wavelength, wave speed Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) Two runners ran side by side, each ...
