- A beam of light in air is incident at an angle of 25° to the surface of a rectangular block of clear plastic( n=1.5).The light beam first passes through the block and reemerges from the opposite side into air, at what angle normal to that surface?The figure below shows the path of a beam of light through several layers with different indices of refraction. (Assume n 1.08.) n = 1,60 n = 1.40 n = 1.20 (a) If 0, = 20.0°, what is the angle 0, of the emerging beam? (b) What is the smallest incident angle 0, to have total internal reflection at the surface between the medium with n = 1.20 and the medium with n. = 1.08?A ray of white light traveling through air enters a block of glass that has an index of refraction of 1.44 for the red end of the spectrum and 1.46 for the violet end. If the ray has an angle of incidence of 60.0 degrees with respect to the normal of the interface boundary, what's the angular separation between the red and violet ends of the spectrum within the glass?
- A ray of light consisting of blue light (wavelength 480 nm) and red light (wavelength 670 nm) is incident on a thick piece of glass at 80°. What is the angular separation between the refracted red and refracted blue beams while they are in the glass? (The respective indices of refraction for the blue light and the red light are 1.4636 and 1.4561.) 0.27° 0.33° 0.36° 0.46° 0.54°Light in a vacuum is incident on a transparent glass slab. The angle of incidence is 31.1° . The slab is then immersed in a pool of liquid. When the angle of incidence for the light striking the slab is 24.8°, the angle of refraction for the light entering the slab is the same as when the slab was in a vacuum. What is the index of refraction of the liquid?A light beam containing red and violet wavelengths is incident on a slab of quartz at an angle of incidence of 44.20°. The index of refraction of quartz is 1.455 at 660 nm (red light), and its index of refraction is 1.468 at 410 nm (violet light). Find the dispersion of the slab, which is defined as the difference in the angles of refraction for the two wavelengths.
- A glass optical fiber is used to transport a light ray across a long distance. The fiber has an index of refraction of 1.520 and is submerged in ethyl alcohol, which has an index of refraction of 1.361. What is the critical angle (in degrees) for the light ray to remain inside the fiber?An engineer is carrying out an experiment to determine the index of refraction for a partially reflective material. To do this, she aims a narrow beam of light at a sample of this material, which has a smooth surface. She then varies the angle of incidence. (The incident beam is traveling through air.) The light that gets reflected by the sample is completely polarized when the angle of incidence is 59.5°. (a)What index of refraction describes the material? n = (b)If some of the incident light (at ?i = 59.5°) enters the material and travels below the surface, what is the angle of refraction (in degrees)?A beam of light is incident from the air on a transparent substance at an angle of 56 with respect to the normal, part of the beam is reflected and the other is refracted. It is observed that the reflected and refracted beams are mutually perpendicular. What is the refractive incidence of the transparent substance? What can you say about the reflected beam? Since you know both indices of refraction, suppose a light beam is incident from the medium with the higher index of refraction to the medium with the lower index of refraction. What is the critical angle to achieve total internal reflection?
