This is a lesson I used myself to teach the Reflection, Fibre optics and endoscopes concept of the waves Unit - A level Physics, AQA specification.

I’ve also used this lesson to teach BTEC applied science unit 1 physics (Level 3)

Learning objective: Describe how total internal reflection is utilised in optics. Explain why cladding improves this.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to:

Success criteria:
Identify the critical angle.

Describe the uses of optical fibres.

Explain why endoscopes are able to obtain an image of an object even if the optical fibre inside is curved.

Identify the critical angle.
