A ray of light is incident from the air n₁ = 1.00 onto a pool containing two liquids at the angle 65°. The 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 l₂ = 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? 111.00 N2 N3 0₁ mirror 1₂ 13

The shark under water will remain hidden from the man on the boat because of total internal reflection under certain conditions. What must be true about this total internal reflection? (nair = 1.0; nwater = 1.33) O It does not matter where the light originates from. O Light has to originate from the shark. O None of the choices is correct. O Light has to originate from the man on the boat.

. a. A ray of light enters a fiber optic cable with index of refraction n from air at an angle as shown below. Let the angle 0 be 69°. For total internal reflection to occur at the cable- air interface, what must be the value of n? n=1.3 nair = 1 Bd OR 8 n Think & Prepare You have three unkowns in this problem, the angle of refraction R, the angle of refraction and n. 1. Set-up Snell's Law equation relating 6, R, and n. 2. Set-up the critical angle relationship between cand n 3.0+0=? sine 4. You may need some trigonometric identities such as sin (90° - 0) = ? and = 2. cose b. In the problem above, the angle e increases. How does this affect what n must be to ensure total internal reflection? A) n will decrease because the critical angle will become larger B) n will decrease becuase the equation for the critical angle is proportional to 1/n of the material C) n will increase because the critical angle will become smaller D) n will increase becuase the equation for the critical angle is…
Answer the following questions A. The critical angle for total internal reflection at a diamond-air interface is 25 degrees. Suppose the light falls at an angle to the normal. Then, total internal reflection will occur if the incident medium is: a) air and angle < 25 degrees b) air and angle > 25 degrees c) air and angle = 25 degrees d) diameter and angle > 25 degrees e) diamond and angle < 25 degrees B. A ray of light in water (index n1) hits its surface (with air) at a critical angle for total internal reflection. Now some oil (index n2) floats in the water.
