### Optical Reflection in Crown Glass SlabCurrent Attempt in ProgressThe drawing shows a crown glass (refractive index \( n = 1.523 \)) slab with a rectangular cross-section. As illustrated, a laser beam strikes the upper surface at an angle of 60.0°. After reflecting from the upper surface, the beam reflects from the side and bottom surfaces.#### (a) If the glass is surrounded by air, determine where part of the beam first exits the glass, at point A, B, or C.#### (b) Repeat part (a), assuming that the glass is surrounded by water (refractive index \( n = 1.333 \)).![Diagram of Rectangular Glass Slab](inset-image)##### Diagram Explanation:- The drawing includes a rectangular slab of crown glass.- A laser beam enters the slab at an angle of 60.0° to the upper surface.- The laser beam reflects internally within the slab and eventually exits at one of three points labeled A, B, or C.- The diagram shows the path of the laser beam inside the glass slab with angles and directions indicated accordingly.**[Dropdown options for user responses are provided below the problem statements for both parts (a) and (b).]**This illustration and problem aim to help students understand the principles of light reflection, refraction, and the behavior of light at the interfaces of materials with different refractive indices. Understanding these concepts is crucial in optics and is relevant for applications in various fields like physics, engineering, and materials science.

Please refer to Figure 2 included. A light beam shines through air and then strikes a mirror, making an angle theta = 66.3 degrees with respect to the vertical, as shown. The reflected beam then strikes a pane of glass of thickness h = 1.01 cm, located a distance y= 32.2 cm from the mirror, and then exits the glass pane at the bottom, a horizontal distance x cm away from where it struck the mirror. What is the value of x? 74.1 cm 29.6 cm 103.7 cm 44.5 cm
A dance hall is built without pillars and with a horizontal ceiling 7.20 m above the floor. A mirror is fastened flat against one section of the ceiling. Following an earthquake, the mirror is in place and unbroken. An engineer makes a quick check of whether the ceiling is sagging by directing a vertical beam of laser light up at the mirror and observing its reflection on the floor. (a) Show that if the mirror has rotated to make an angle φ with the horizontal, the normal to the mirror makes an angle φ with the vertical. (b) Show that the reflected laser light makes an angle 2φ with the vertical. (c) Assume the reflected laser light makes a spot on the floor 1.40 cm away from the point vertically below the laser.
