Suppose light travels from water to another substance, with an angle of incidence of 10.0º and an angle of refraction of 14.9º . (a) What is the index of refraction of the other substance? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?
Air has an index of refraction of 1.00. Water has an index of refraction of 1.33. Consider a pool of water that is perfectly calm and 3.21 meters deep. A ray of light (or a laser beam, if you like) enters the water, refracts, and ultimately hits the bottom of the pool. Find the distance between the point where the light enters the water and the point where the light hits the bottom of the pool if the angle between the ray in air and the surface of the pool is 46.4 degrees. Answer in meters.
A ray of light crosses the boundary between some substance with n = 1.54 and air, going from the substance into air. If the angle of incidence is 29◦ what is the angle of refraction? Calculate to 1decimal.
A light beam containing red and violet wavelengths is incident on a slab of quartz at an angle of incidence of 44.20°. The index of refraction of quartz is 1.455 at 660 nm (red light), and its index of refraction is 1.468 at 410 nm (violet light). Find the dispersion of the slab, which is defined as the difference in the angles of refraction for the two wavelengths.

A beam of light is incident from the air on a transparent substance at an angle of 56 with respect to the normal, part of the beam is reflected and the other is refracted. It is observed that the reflected and refracted beams are mutually perpendicular. What is the refractive incidence of the transparent substance? What can you say about the reflected beam? Since you know both indices of refraction, suppose a light beam is incident from the medium with the higher index of refraction to the medium with the lower index of refraction. What is the critical angle to achieve total internal reflection?
