Activity 4: Rainbow connections Another amazing optical illusion in nature is the formation of rainbow. How we see a rainbow depends on how light behaves as it interacts to the water droplets in the sky. In this activity, try to determine the processes that take place for a rainbow to form.

Learning Goal: To learn and practice the geometry skills necessary for complex reflection setups. The law of reflection has the very simple form - Oreflected, Oincident - where incident is the angle between the normal and the incident ray and reflected is the angle between the normal and the reflected ray. Although the law itself is easy to use, many realistic situations involve successive reflections from multiple surfaces. The law of reflection does not become any more complicated in such cases, but the geometry of the rays does become complicated. Consider the case of light shining onto a mirror, which is attached to another mirror at some angle a, as shown in the figure (Figure 1). In this problem, we will find the angle at which light leaves the arrangement of two mirrors. Part A If the light strikes the first mirror at an angle 01, what is the reflected angle 02?

Learning Goal: To understand polarization of light and how to use Malus's law to calculate the intensity of a beam of light after passing through one or more polarizing filters. The two transverse waves shown in the figure(Figure 1) both travel in the +z direction. The waves differ in that the top wave oscillates horizontally and the bottom wave oscillates vertically. The direction of oscillation of a wave is called the polarization of the wave. The upper wave is described as polarized in the +x direction whereas the lower wave is polarized in the +y direction. In general, waves can be polarized along any direction. Recall that electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, microwaves, and X rays, consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. The polarization of an electromagnetic wave refers to the oscillation direction of the electric field, not the magnetic field. In this problem all figures depicting light waves illustrate only the electric field. A linear polarizing filter,…

glass air Incident ray Figure 1 On figure 1 above, a light ray in air (n = 1.0) is incident on thick glass sheet (n = 1.5). Use a protractor and a ruler to accurately draw the ray of light as it travels in the glass. Draw and label the normal and the incident and refracted angles (and state their measured values).

Answer the questlons in complete sentences. Questions Does the planar miror have a focal point? Explain your answer. Did the planar mirror cause left-right reversal of the light beams? Explain your answer. Did the planar mirror cause the rays of light to divérge, converge, or remain parallel? Explain your answer. Explain the order of the colors of light on the screen (from left to right) and compare them to the order of the colors coming from the light source.
4. Light of a certain wavelength will reflect off of the top (1) and bottom (2) surfaces of a butterfly scale to constructively interfere. However, light can also reflect off the top surface of the next consecutive scale (3), and cause constructive interference for other wavelengths of light (this is why butterfly scales seem to made up of a mixture of many different colors). In the diagram to the right all these paths are straight up and down. The index of refraction of the butterfly scale is 1.6. Between which of the following two paths will the constant eye 12 3 n=1.0 n=1.6 130nm n=1.0 200nm phase difference, Ao, be t radians? a. Between paths (1) and (2). b. Between paths (2) and (3). c. Between paths (1) and (3). d. All of the above path differences lead to a t phase shift. e. Only choices a) and b) above will lead to a t phase shift.

Part B You have a V-shaped transparent empty container such as shown in (Figure 1). When you shine a laser pointer horizontally through the empty container, the beam goes straight through and makes a spot on the wall. What happens if you fill the container to the very top?
