top liquid is water with an index of refraction n₂ = 1.33 and the bottom liquid is a mysterious dense fluid with index of refraction n3 = 2.5 If the water layer is 12 = 25m in thickness and the other fluid is 13 = 20m in thickness. At the bottom of this pool is a mirror the light will reflect off, as seen in the image below. How long does it take light between entering and exiting the pool? n=1.00 N2 N3 Ꮎ ; mirror 1₂ 13
Refraction of Light
Refraction is a change in the direction of light rays when they travel from one medium to another. It is the bending of light when it goes through different media.
Angle of Refraction
Light is considered by many scientists to have dual nature, both particle nature and wave nature. First, Particle nature is one in which we consider a stream of packets of energy called photons. Second, Wave nature is considering light as electromagnetic radiation whereas part of it is perceived by humans. Visible spectrum defined by humans lies in a range of 400 to 700 nm wavelengths.
Index of Refraction of Diamond
Diamond, the world’s hardest naturally occurring material and mineral known, is a solid form of the element carbon. The atoms are arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. They exist in a huge variety of colours. Also, they are one of the best conductors of heat and have a very high melting point.
