In an optics lab, an experiment is performed using two identical lasers and two identical photodetectors. Each detector is thesame fixed distance away from the emitter of each laser. Light emitted from the first laser travels only through air before reachingthe detector. Light emitted from the second laser first travels through a 6.10 m long column of diamond before emerging in airand continuing to the detector. The index of refraction of diamond is 2.419.The lasers each emit a pulse of light simultaneously. What will be the difference in the times of arrival of the two pulses at thedetectors (in ns)?ns

Given, Refractive index of diamond = 2.419 Length of diamond column = 6.1 m

A ray of light is incident on a pool with three layers of liquid in it at an angle of 75.0°. The top layer is 20.0m deep and has an index of refraction of 1.33. The middle layer is also 20.0m deep and has an index of refraction of 2.00. The bottom layer is 25.0m deep and has an index of refraction of 2.50. At the bottom of the pool there is a mirror that reflects the light back towards the surface. Calculate the time that the ray of light is in the pool, in other words the time taken between points A and B. Use the speed of light in a vacuum c = 3 * 108 m/s.

A laser used in LASIK eye surgery produces 55 pulses per second. The wavelength is 220.0 nm (in air), and each pulse lasts 10.0 ps. The average power emitted by the laser is 120.0 mW and the beam diameter is 0.800 mm. How long (in centimeters) is a single pulse of the laser in air?
Three sheets of plastic have unknown indices of refraction. Sheet 1 is placed on top of sheet 2, and a laser beam is directed onto the sheets from above so that it strikes the interface at an angle of 26.6deg with the normal. The refracted beam in sheet 2 makes an angle of 31.4deg with the normal. The experiment is repeated with sheet 3 on top of sheet 2 and, with the same angle of incidence, the refracted beam makes an angle of 36.8deg with the normal. If the experiment is repeated again with sheet 1 on top of sheet 3, what is the expected angle of refraction in sheet 3? Assume the same angle of incidence.

X rays are typically used to kill off cancer cells, however an issue some radiologists run into is the damage an x-ray may do to surrounding tissue. Because of this, accuracy plays a key role in radiation therapy. Suppose you are a medical physicist, and you have been given the task of choosing a medium with a proper index of refraction to bend the x rays such that they only hit the tumor. Suppose you know that the x ray comes in at an angle of 20 degrees with respect to the normal of your second medium. You know the tumor expands out to 5 degrees on either side of the normal what is the minimum index of refraction needed for the x ray to hit the tumor
