- A ray of light passes from air into a block of transparent material X as shown in the diagram below. Trace the correct path of the light ray as it exits material X.A light ray traveling in air is incident on one face of a right-angle prism with index of refraction n = 1.49, as shown in Figure P22.54, and the ray follows the path shown in the figure. Assuming that θ = 58.0° and the base of the prism is mirrored, determine the angle made by the outgoing ray with the normal to the right face of the prism.?degrees1) What is the speed of light in a glass(n=1.5)? 2) A man 1.80 m tall stands in front of a vertical plane mirror. What is the minimum height of the mirror, if he is to see his whole body? Assume his eyes are 10 cm below the top of his head.
- A laser beam shines along the surface of a block of transparent material (see figure below). 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 6.25 ns. What is the index of refraction of this material?Problem 85.
