A sheet of glass of thickness 1.2 mm has refractive index = 1.4. A laser beam is incident on its edge at an angle 75 °. Will this ray suffer total internal reflection from the flat surfaces of the glass sheet and be reflected inside (if so, write 1). If it will not have total internal reflection and pass through the glass surface write 0. normal side view of glass sheet

17. A beam of light passes from glass with refractive index 1.58 into water with a refractive index 1.33. The angle of the refracted ray in water is 58.0°. Draw a sketch of the situation showing the interface between the media, the normal line, the incident ray, the reflected ray, the refracted ray, and the angles of these rays relative to the normal line.
A ray of light is incident in medium (1) where light has speed s1 onto the interface with medium (2) where light has speed s2. If s1 > s2, then at the interface the ray will refract away from the normal to the interface the ray will refract toward from the normal to the interface the ray will follow a straight path from medium (1) to medium (2) the angle of reflection is greater than the angle of incidence the angle of reflection is not equal to the angle of incidence
