Ways the Direction of Light Can Change
- Reflection light path bends back from a reflective surface (e.g. mirror, surface of pond,
table, chair, pen, etc)
- Refraction light path bends at interface between two transparent media of different
indices of refraction (densities).
*
- Scattering light path changed by interaction with small particles (e.g. molecules, dust
, etc..) about same size as light wavelength.
*
- Dispersion light paths are refracted by different amounts
*
- Diffraction light waves interfere constructively and destructively
*
Effect stronger for blue light than red light.

Light Scattering: Blue light is scattered (re-directed) in all different directions by dust and
large molecules in the Earthís atmosphere more than other colors.
