Answer the following questions A. The critical angle for total internal reflection at a diamond-air interface is 25 degrees. Suppose the light falls at an angle to the normal. Then, total internal reflection will occur if the incident medium is: a) air and angle < 25 degrees b) air and angle > 25 degrees c) air and angle = 25 degrees d) diameter and angle > 25 degrees e) diamond and angle < 25 degrees B. A ray of light in water (index n1) hits its surface (with air) at a critical angle for total internal reflection. Now some oil (index n2) floats in the water. The angle between the ray in the oil and the normal is: note: sin -1 (1.00), it is read as the inverse sine of one. a) sin -1 (1/n1) b) sin -1 (1/n2) c) sin -1 (1.00) d) sin -1 (n1/n2) e) sin -1 (n2/n1) C. A ray of light passes obliquely (non-zero angle) through a glass plate that has parallel faces. The emerging ray: a) it leans more towards the normal than the incident ray b) is reflected internally toatl c) tilts…
Assume that a material is composed of 3 layers in descending order: air (nair = 1.00), water (nwater = 1.33), and glass (nglass= 1.52). Then, assume that a monochromatic light ray in the air passes through the surface of water with an angle of incidence 0₁ = 40 degrees. A. Find the angle of refraction in glass after it passes completely through the water layer. B. Find how fast is the light ray moving in the glass?
Snell's Law and the Law of Reflection explain how light is redirected when it encounters a surface between two media. In the extreme, light may only reflect at a boundary, and go back into the medium it was in. More often, some of it reflects and some goes through. If the boundary is plane and flat, then these laws are easy to interpret. When the boundary is curved, they describe happens at every point on the surface. One of the class types of glass is called "crown" glass, which has an index of refraction for visible light of 1.52 and is usually free of significant impurities. It was one of the first glasses discovered, and windows are made from it. Another glass is called "flint" glass, and it has lead oxide added, which makes it heavier, more "dispersive" and colorful, and increases its index of refraction to 1.62. For the flint glass, the refracted ray goes through the glass to the other side. If the glass is a parallel slab, what happens when the ray reaches the…
What happens to a light wave when it is reflected off the surface of a material with a LOWER index of refraction? A) it reflects with its phase shifted by (pi) B) there is no reflection C) it reflects with its phase shifted by (pi/2) D) it reflects with its phase unshifted
You are using a transparent tube as an optical fiber in open air (n air=1.00) you have calculated that the critical angle for the fiber is 34.5. a) what is the index of refraction of your optical fiber? b)to make your fiber more durable, you encase it in a cladding with an index of refraction equal to 1.35. Will the beam be reflected into the fiber or will it leak into the cladding when the incident angle inside the fiber is 50.

A ray of white light strikes the surface of a 4.0-cm-thick slab of flint glass as shown. As the ray enters the glass, it is dispersed into its constituent colors. Estimate how far apart the rays of deepest red and deepest violet light are as they exit the bottom surface. Which exiting ray is closer to point P?
