The following are top-view diagrams of solid cubes and cylinders. Assume that light travels more slowly through the objects than through the surrounding medium. Each diagram shows a path for a light ray that is not correct. In each case, there is at least one (and possibly more than one) error in each diagram. Identify all the mistakes in the two diagrams and please explain your reasoning. Redraw the correct path for the light ray on each diagram. (a) (b)

A laser beam shines along the surface of a block of transparent material. (See the figure ( Figure 1).) Half of the beam goes straight to a detector, while the other half travels through the block and then hits the detector. The time delay between the arrival of the two light beams at the detector is 6.40 ns.

The side-view mirrors of most cars are convex spherical mirrors (so that the driver can see a wider angle behind the car). Suppose that the side view mirror of your car has a radius of curvature of 18 m, and that another car is 10 m in front of the mirror (behind the car). Ignore any aberration. a) Using the mirror equation to calculate how far the other car appears to be from the mirror. b) Sketch a light ray diagram including the object, the mirror, the image, and the principal light rays. c) Is the image distance smaller or larger than the object distance? Is the image smaller or larger than the object? Answer with calculations.

All answers require full explanations in complete sentences. The figure below shows a spherical bubble of CO2 gas in a liquid. The index of refraction of the liquid is 1.5 times larger than that of the gas. A light ray in the liquid is incident on the bubble as shown. The black dot identifies the center of the bubble. Draw, precisely, a reasonable ray transmitted into the bubble and explain how you why it looks as you have drawn it. determined
A ray of light is passed through a ruby and it hits a surface in contact with air (n = 1.000) at an angle of 45° with respect to the normal. Use the table below to determine happens when it hits the surface? What is the critical angle? The ray refracts into the air at an angle of 45° with respect to the normal. The ray reflects back into the ruby at an angle of 45° with respect to the normal. The ray refracts at an angle of 90° with respect to the normal, along the surface. The ray is absorbed in the air. None of the above.
