Here,
Formula to calculate the minimum incident angle is,
Here,
Substitute,
Conclusion:
Therefore, The minimum incident angle would ray of light undergo total internal reflection is
(c)
The effect of the thickness of water layer or glass on the minimum incident angle.
(c)
Answer to Problem 40P
Explanation of Solution
Expression for the minimum incident angle is,
Here,
Thus, the minimum incident angle would ray of light undergo total internal reflection does not depend on the thickness of the water layer of glass layer.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the minimum incident angle would ray of light undergo total internal reflection does not depend on the thickness of the water layer of glass layer.
(d)
The effect of the refractive index of the intervening layer on the minimum incident angle.
(d)
Answer to Problem 40P
Explanation of Solution

- 13.87 ... Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets?
