An opaque mask is placed between a small light bulb and a screen. A transparent block of glass is placed in front of the screen as shown in the side-view figure below. The refractive index of glass is ng = 1.5 and the surrounding medium is air with n. = 1.0. • If the piece of glass were to be removed, would the size of the shadow on the screen increase, decreas or stay the same? Please explain your reasoning and support your answer with a qualitatively correct ray diagram. Suppose the entire experiment is now immersed in a medium with a refractive index of nm = 1.4. Does submerging the experiment in this new medium cause the size of the shadow on the screen to increase, decrease or stay the same?

A laser is pointed at the side of a glass (n = 1.5) prism. After passing into the glass, the laser hits the side of the container at point P as shown in the picture below. P Where will the laser hit the side of the prism when it is submerged in water (n = 1.33) without changing the incident angle of the laser? Still at point P At a point to the right of P At a point to the left of P We cannot say for sure without knowing the dimensions of the prism
