Refraction - Law Enforcement

The Refraction - Law Enforcement Concept Builder is comprised of a bank of 36 questions that are delivered to the learner across four activities. Questions are grouped and chosen at random from within the same group. If a learner misses a question within Question Group 1, then another question within the same group will be presented to the learner at a later time.

The four activities in this Concept Builder are differentiated as follows:
 

• Light Speed and Refraction: 4 Question Groups. Learners study the effect of relative light speed of two media upon the direction of bending.
• Optical Density and Refraction: 4 Question Groups. Learners study the effect of relative optical density of two media upon the direction of bending.
• Index of Refraction and Refraction: 4 Question Groups. Learners study the effect of relative index of refraction of two media upon the direction of bending.
• Variable Mix: 8 Question Groups. The 8 Question Groups include the effect of all three variables upon the direction of bending.

The questions and images used in this Concept Builder are shown below. Teachers are encouraged to view the questions in order to judge which activity is most appropriate for their classes.
