- The low light from a vacuum is incident on a shard of Shawntonium (newly discovered compound) The backside of the shard is up against an unknown material when the light strikes the backside of the shard total interaction reflection occurs the light that emerges from the backside of the shard and resumes traveling through the vacuum the index of refraction of Shaw Tonkin is 2.7. Determine theta 1 and 24. What is the critical angle for light passing from diamond to air if the index of refraction of diamond is 2.42?Why the Sun and the surrounding sky appears red during Sunrise and Sunset?
