But light’s not really a ray Why can we get away with acting like
it is? Do ocean waves act like rays of light?
What’s the real reason light reflects symmetrically around the normal?

Hard WorkToday, many have forgotten the value of work. Some falsely believe that the highest goal in life is to achieve a condition in which one no longer needs to work. President David O. McKay (1873-1970) was fond of saying, "Let us realize that the privilege to work is a gift, that power to work is a blessing, that love of work is success."
Work is not a matter of economic need alone; it is a spiritual necessity.
-- BISHOP H. DAVID BURTON

The wave physics behind Snell’s law
What changes when the light enters glass?
What stays the same?

Light enters a piece of plate glass which is 3 mm thick and has an index of refraction of 1.5. It enters the glass at an angle θ1 relative to the normal. It exits the glass at an angle θ3 relative to the normal. Which of the following is true?
1. θ3 is greater than θ1.2. θ3 is less than θ1.3. θ3 is equal to θ1.4. It depends on information I haven’t given

Light is travelling in glass with an index of refraction of 1.5. It strikes the surface of the glass at an angle of 85 degrees from the normal. Some of the light transmits, some reflects. What direction will the two beams travel?

Virtual image The light does not actually come
from that point—it only looks like it does. You have to look into the mirror to see it.
