Chapter 22, Problem 46AP

A ray of light is incident at an angle 30.0° on a plane slab of flint glass surrounded by water. (a) Find the refraction angle. (b) Suppose the index of refraction of the surrounding medium can be adjusted, but the incident angle of the light remains the same. As the index of refraction of the medium approaches that of the glass, what happens to the refraction angle? (c) What happens to the refraction angle when the medium’s index of refraction exceeds that of the glass?

A piece of glass has an index of refraction of 1.5 and is submerged in water with n=1.33. A beam of monochrome light is incident on the glass and is refracted. (a) Find the angle of refraction if the angle of incidence is 32⁰. (b) Now, assume that the light is initially in the glass and incident on the glass-water surface. What is the refraction of light?
(a)Light passes from glass with index of refraction 1.58 into water with index of refraction 1.33. The angle of the refractedray in water is 58.0°.Calculate the angle of the incident ray at the glass-water interface. (b) A ray passing from air to cyclohexane is incident at 48° and has an angle of refraction of 31°. Calculate the index of refraction of the cyclohexane. (c) Draw pictures of each situation showing the interface between the media, the normal line, the incident, reflected, and refracted rays, and the angles of these ray relative to the normal line.
A light ray in air is incident on an air-to-glass boundary with an angle of incidence of 45.0° with the normal.  It is refracted in the glass with an angle of refraction of 22.0° with the normal.  What is the index of refraction of the glass?
