- What happens to a light wave when it hits a surface that has a higher index of refraction? a) It reflects with λ/2 phase shift. b) It reflects with a λ/4 phase shift. c) It's shift is porportional to the angle of reflection. d) It reflects with it's phase unshifted.A group of students was at a graduation party in one student’s backyard. The star of the basketball team, who is very tall, arrived late. As he walked across the back yard his head bumped into one light in a strand of part light. All of a sudden all of the party lights went out. Explain why all of the lights in the strand went out when one light was bumped.A thin beam of light makes an angle of 60° with the surface (not the normal) of a body of water (n = 1.33). Once the light beam refracts into the water what angle does the beam make with the surface of water? 30° 68° 22° 60°
- Chapter 25: Problem 5: In the year 1178, five monks at Canterbury Cathedral in England observed what appeared to be an asteroid colliding with the moon, causing a red glow in and around it. It is hypothesized that this event created the crater Giordano Bruno, which is right on the edge of the area we can usually see from Earth. a) How long after the asteroid hit the Moon, which is 3.84 ×10⁵ km away, would the light first arrive on Earth in seconds?A flashlight is used to propel an 85 kg reflective load in space. If the flashlight emits 1W of light in a parallel beam for 1 hour, and the entire beam falls on the surface of the load, find how far the load will have moved at the end of the hour. Assuming it started at rest. (Hint: the force, mass, and acceleration are related through F=m*a; you should also use the physics equation relating position, velocity, and acceleration).A ray of light is directed toward the surface of a block of zircon at an angle of 47.0° with respect to the normal (a line perpendicular to the surface at the spot where the ray hits the block). Part of the light is reflected and the rest refracted. What is the angle (in degrees) between the reflected and refracted rays?
