Applications Of Reflection Of Light
When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.
Sign Convention for Mirrors
A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.

Part A
A laser beam is incident at 30° with respect to the normal on a stack of five
transparent plates made of materials with the following indexes of refraction
(from the top of the stack to the bottom): n1 = 1.20, n2 = 1.30, n3 = 1.40,
n4 = 1.50, n5 = 1.60. The plates touch each other.
Determine the angle between the outgoing beam and the normal to the last plate. Assume the first and the last plate are in contact with air. (Hint: Before you start calculating, write the
expession for the final angle and see if you can simplify it.)
