Figure 25.54 shows a ray of light passing from one medium into a second and then a third. Show that 3 is the same as it would be if the second medium were not present (provided total internal reflection does not occur). Figure 25.54 A ray of light passes from one medium to a third by traveling through a second. The final direction is the same as if the second medium were not present, but the ray is displaced by x (Shawn exaggerated).
Show that when light reflects from two mirrors that meet each other at a right angle, the outgoing ray is parallel to the incoming ray, as illustrated in the following figure. Figure 25.51 A corner reflector sends the reflected reflected ray back in a direction parallel to the incident ray, independent of incoming direction.
