Concept explainers

Applications Of Reflection Of Light

When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.

Sign Convention for Mirrors

A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.

Light traveling in a medium of index of refraction n1 is incident on another medium having an index of refraction n2. Under which of the following conditions can total internal reflection occur at the interface of the two media? (a) The indices of refraction have the relation n2 n1. (b) The indices of refraction have the relation n1 n2. (c) Light travels slower in the second medium than in the first. (d) The angle of incidence is less than the critical angle. (e) The angle of incidence must equal the angle of refraction.
Figure P23.28 shows a curved surface separating a material with index of refraction n1 from a material with index n2. The surface forms an image I of object O. The ray shown in red passes through the surface along a radial line. Its angles of incidence and refraction are both zero, so its direction does not change at the surface. For the ray shown in blue, the direction changes according to n1 sin 1 = n2 sin 2. For paraxial rays, we assume 1 and 2 are small, so we may write n1 tan 1 n2 tan 2. The magnification is defined as M = h/h. Prove that the magnification is given by M = n1q/n2p. Figure P23.28
The index of refraction for water is about 43. What happens as a beam of light travels from air into water? (a) Its speed increases to 43c, and its frequency decreases. (b) Its speed decreases to 34c, and its wavelength decreases by a factor of 34. (c) Its speed decreases to 34c, and its wavelength increases by a factor of 43. (d) Its speed and frequency remain the same. (e) Its speed decreases to 34c, and its frequency increases.

What is the angle of refraction within the material (0₂)? 0₂ = degrees What would the block's index of refraction need to become in order for the angle of refraction (02) to be 2 degrees less than what it was originally?
