Which statement about the Refraction of light waves is correct? All of theses are correct. O Refraction occurs because light travels at difference speeds in different materials. O Refraction is a process where light bends as it travels from one material to another. Refraction can be used to create a telescope.
a. Given the pattern of light on the far side of the prism, is the index of refraction inside the prism higher or lower than the index of refraction outside the prism? b. List at least one thing that is wrong with this diagram given what we expect the dependence of n on the wavelength of light to be (and assuming the prism is made of a uniform material). c. List at least one thing that is right with this diagram given what we expect the dependence of n on the wavelength of light to be (and assuming the prism is made of a uniform material).
A beam of white light is incident on the surface of a diamond at an angle θa. (Figure 1) Since the index of refraction depends on the light's wavelength, the different colors that comprise white light will spread out as they pass through the diamond. For example, the indices of refraction in diamond are nred=2.410 for red light and nblue=2.450 for blue light. Thus, blue light and red light are refracted at different angles inside the diamond, as shown in the picture. The surrounding air has nair=1.000. Note that the angles in the figure are not to scale. Now consider θc, the angle at which the blue refracted ray hits the bottom surface of the diamond. If θc is larger than the critical angle θcrit, the light will not be refracted out into the air, but instead it will be totally internally reflected back into the diamond. Find θcrit.
