Problem 1: You want to test a special watertight monochromatic light source in an un- derwater environment. If the light source shines its beam of electromagnetic radiation into your eyes when you and the light source are above the water, with both your eyes and the light source immersed in air, the beam appears to your eyes to have a deep violet color. The index of refraction of water is about 1.33 What color, if any, would your eyes perceive the beam to have when you and the light source are submerged in water – and why? (A) No color. The beam would become invisible under water because its wavelength in water is shorter than in air, corresponding to a wavelength of ultra-violet light. The beam's wavelength in the water determines its visibility to the eye under water, and ultra-violet light is not visible to the human eye. (B) Same color as in air, above the water, i.e., deep violet. Under water, the beam would have the same wavelength as in air. The beam's wavelength in the water…
A beam of unpolarized light of intensity 4.04E3 W/m2 passes through a series of ideal polarizing filters with their polarizing directions turned to various angles as shown in the figure. If the middle polarizer is removed, what is the light intensity at point C (in W/m2)?
You are standing in air and are looking at a flat piece of glass (n = 1.52) on which there is a layer of transparent plastic (n = 1.61).

Find the smallest possible nonzero value for the thickness of the layer.

A very narrow beam of light containing red (660 nm) and blue (470 nm) wavelengths travels from air through a 0.68 m thick flat block of crown glass and back to air again. The beam strikes at a 30.0º incident angle. By what distance (in mm) perpendicular to their direction of travel are the red and blue beams separated when they emerge? The index of refraction for λ = 660 nm is 1.512 and the index of refraction for λ = 470 nm is 1.524. Enter a number with 3 digits behind the decimal point.
