Refraction Analogy with a Real Car - GCSE and A Level Physics

Описание: You have probably heard of this refraction analogy for how light behaves as it refracts and changes direction at a boundary - now see it in real life!

Notes for teachers:

Scene 1 - A car will travel slower over a rough surface, like gravel, compared to a smooth surface like tarmac.
Scene 2 - If a car drives from one surface to another with the front wheels meeting this new rougher surface at the same time, the car will slow down but not change direction.
Scene 3 - If the car meets a surface at an angle then one wheel slows down before the other and the car turns. Once both wheels are on the gravel then it continues in a straight line until it turns again as it drives back onto the tarmac.
Scene 4 - A repeat of Scene 3.

Thanks for watching,
