🔍 Curiosity: Did you know that this principle is employed in eyeglasses and cameras? Light refraction plays a critical role in correcting vision and producing sharp images. Additionally, understanding the apparent position of submerged objects can be essential in activities like fishing, where the actual location of fish in the water differs from what we perceive.

Kontekstualisasi

📚 Context: To kick off the lesson on Geometric Optics and Apparent Position, introduce the students to the way light behaves when transitioning between different media. Use relatable examples, like a spoon in a glass of water, which seems to be bent or shifted. Emphasize that this effect is due to light refraction, which changes the path of light rays as they move from one medium to another with varying refractive indices.

🎯 Purpose: The aim of this stage is to deepen students' grasp of apparent position and the refraction of light. By exploring key topics and presenting practical examples, learners will be equipped to apply theory to real-life scenarios, enhancing their problem-solving skills in relation to light refraction and object positioning. Working through questions as a class will give students the chance to practice the concepts learned and clear up any uncertainties.

Topik Relevan

1. 📖 Law of Refraction (Snell's Law): Explain that when light passes from one medium to another, its speed alters, resulting in a change in direction of light rays. Snell's Law relates the angles of incidence and refraction as follows: n1sin(θ1) = n2sin(θ2), where n denotes the refractive index.

2. 📖 Refractive Index: Clarify that the refractive index of a material measures how light travels through that medium. It is expressed as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to that in the medium. Common refractive indices are air (around 1), water (approximately 1.33), and glass (about 1.5).

3. 📖 Apparent Position: Discuss how the apparent position of an object that’s submerged is where it seems to an observer, due to the refraction of light. Use diagrams to show how light changes direction when moving from water to air, causing the object to appear nearer to the surface.

4. 📖 Calculating Real and Apparent Position: Teach students to apply Snell's Law to find the real position of a submerged object based on its apparent position, and vice versa. Provide formulas and hands-on examples to clarify the computation.

5. 📖 Practical Examples: Share relatable examples, such as spotting a coin at the bottom of a glass of water and fishing, where fish appear to be located differently than their true position. Walk through problem-solving steps for each scenario.

🎯 Purpose: This stage aims to ensure that students solidify their understanding of the topics discussed by engaging in detailed discussions about the resolved questions. Reviewing answers and explanations allows the teacher to address any confusion and reiterate important concepts. Additionally, posing reflective questions encourages students to think more deeply and contextually about the material.

1. 1️⃣ Question 1: A coin is at the bottom of a glass of water (refractive index = 1.33). If the real depth of the coin is 6 cm, what is its apparent depth when viewed vertically?

Explanation: You can calculate the apparent depth using the refraction formula. The relationship between the real depth (d_real) and the apparent depth (d_apparent) is given by:

d_apparent = d_real / n

By substituting the values, we have: d_apparent = 6 cm / 1.33 ≈ 4.51 cm. So, the apparent depth is roughly 4.51 cm. 2. 2️⃣ Question 2: A stick is partly submerged in water, forming an angle with the surface. Draw a diagram showing how light rays travel and explain why the stick appears broken.

Explanation: Draw the diagram displaying the refraction of light rays at the water-air boundary. The light rays moving from the stick into the air change direction at the surface due to differing refractive indices. This results in the submerged part of the stick seeming to be in a different location from the portion above water, creating the illusion of a break. This angle change is illustrated by Snell's Law. 3. 3️⃣ Question 3: A fish is at a depth of 2 meters in a lake. Determine the apparent depth of the fish when viewed from directly above (consider the refractive index of water as 1.33).

Explanation: We once again apply the refraction formula to find the apparent depth. Here, d_real = 2 m and n = 1.33. Applying the formula:

d_apparent = d_real / n

Substituting the values, we get: d_apparent = 2 m / 1.33 ≈ 1.50 m. Thus, the apparent depth of the fish is approximately 1.50 m.
