Question

1. develop a model of what happens when the laser hits the beam splitter. explain what is happening to the light in your diagram using scientific vocabulary (ex: reflection, refraction, transmission.) be sure to label and follow all scientific properties. model: explanation:

Explanation:

When a laser hits a beam - splitter, part of the light is reflected and part is transmitted. Reflection occurs when light bounces off the surface of the beam - splitter at an angle equal to the angle of incidence, following the law of reflection. Transmission is when light passes through the beam - splitter. The ratio of reflected to transmitted light depends on the properties of the beam - splitter. To create a model, draw a laser beam approaching the beam - splitter, with an arrow representing the incident beam. Then draw two arrows, one representing the reflected beam (with the angle of reflection equal to the angle of incidence) and one representing the transmitted beam. Label the incident, reflected, and transmitted beams, and note the angles and the concepts of reflection and transmission.

Answer:

A model can be a simple diagram with an incident laser beam, a reflected beam, and a transmitted beam. The incident beam hits the beam - splitter. The reflected beam bounces off at an angle equal to the angle of incidence, and the transmitted beam passes through. Label the incident, reflected, and transmitted beams and mention reflection and transmission concepts.
