Solve problems involving reflection, refraction, dispersion, and polarization in contexts such as, but not limited to, (polarizing) sunglasses, atmospheric haloes, and rainbows 4. Three initially parallel rays of light are incident at slightly different points on a bumpysurface, as indicated in the figure to the right. The angles of incidence are 15⁰ forray A (blue in figure), 31° for ray B (green), and 47° for ray C (red). (a) What arethe angles of reflection for the three rays? (b) Will the three rays remain parallelafter reflection? (c) Sketch the paths of the reflected rays on the diagram.47°31°15⁰

A life-guard wants your help choosing a pair of new sun-glasses to minimize reflections from the water. She noticed an advertisement that let one choose the angle of polarization orientation of the sunglasses. What polarization angle, if any would you advise her to choose for her new glasses. Question 6 options: A pair of polarizing sunglasses offers no advantage for a people near the water. Sunglasses with a horizontally oriented polarizer would be best for reducing ocean glare. Sunglasses with a vertically oriented polarizer would be best for reducing ocean glare.
What is the condition for permanent polarization? What kind of materials satisfy this condition?
What is the significance of the Brewster angle in the context of light polarization?
The angle of incidence of a light beam onto a reflecting surface is continuously variable. The reflected ray in air is completely polarized when the angle of incidence is 49.8°. What is the index of refraction of the reflecting material? Need Help? Read It Watch It
Fiber optic cables, such as those used for high speed communication (Internet & phone services), transmit signals as light pulses through transparent cables. When viewed from one of the ends, you can see these light pulses, but when viewed from the side you can't. Why does this happen?
Two sheets of ideal polarizing material are placed with their transmission axes at 60.0 to each other. A third polarizing sheet is placed between them with its transmission axis at 30.0° to the axes of the other two. What is the fraction of the incident light intensity that is transmitted, when the middle sheet is removed? ___I0
The critical angle for light going from a certain plastic into a liquid with n = 1.14 is 48 degrees. What is the index of refraction of the plastic?
When light reflects off horizontal surfaces some of the vertical components of the electric fields are absorbed while the horizontal components are reflected. In order for a polarizing set of sunglasses to be effective the glasses must be aligned so that it will block the components of the electric fields. horizontal vertical spherical elliptical
Fiber optic cables, such as those used for high-speed communication (Internet & phone services), transmit signals as light pulses through transparent cables. When viewed from one of the ends, you can see these light pulses, but when viewed from the side you can't. Using your knowledge about reflection and refraction, explain how this might work. Is there some physical limitation where this might not work?
