Let v be the wave's speed, λ its wavelength, and f its frequency. These quantities are related via the equation v=λf. Note that, if the wave speed decreases, the wavelength must also decrease for the frequency to remain constant.
What is the wavelength λ of light in glass, if its wavelength in air is λ0, its speed in air is c, and its speed in the glass is v?
Express your answer in terms of λ0, c, and v.
If light strikes the air/glass interface at an angle 32.0 degrees to the normal, what is the angle of reflection, θr?
(a) What is the range of the wavelengths of light that is visible to the human eye?
(b) Longitudinal waves show regions of compression and rarefaction. Explain what is meant by a compression and a rarefaction in terms of the behaviour of air molecules.
(c) The diagram below represents a water wave. Calculate the number of wavelengths there are between X and Y.
A beam of white light hits a prism and is dispersed into the its spectral components – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. If a second prism is placed so that only the red band of light can pass through, what would you predict would occur and why?

- Help me pleasearrow_forwardPlease answer the following question(s): 1. When light passes from air to water (refractive index 1.33), its wavelength decreases to times its original value. (Note: enter answer as a decimal)arrow_forwardThe photo is a microscopic look at the surface of a reflective compact disk (CD), circa 2004. The tiny carved dashes and dots are digital encoded data, usually music. But the spacing of the dashes and dots have an interesting side effect: they will selectively re-enforce the reflection of some colors, while suppressing other colors. This made CD's very colorful, without the need for pigment. What concept BEST explains what is creating the colors reflected from CD's? a.refraction b. relativity c. interference d. polarization e. diffractionarrow_forward
- Choose the correct statement. For light, we can call white a tertiary color because RED + BLUE + GREEN = WHITE. O For light, we can call white a tertiary color because GREEN + MAGENTA = WHITE. O We cannot call white a tertiary color. For light, we can call white a tertiary color because YELLOW + MAGENTA + CYAN = WHITE.arrow_forwardAccording to the Young-Helmholtz theory of color vision, humans have cell receptors called "cones" in their retina that have peak sensitivities in the Red, Green and Blue wavelength ranges. When light reflects off a surface, we perceive the color or colors that are reflected; other colors are absorbed by the material. Which TWO of the following statements are correct? Because leaves on a plant reflect green light when illuminated by white light, other colors are absorbed and are therefore necessary for photosynthesis. If a yellow light illuminates a white book, the reflection will cause the red and green cones of an observer to be stimulated and will send a signal to the brain by way of the optic nerve. If both a red light and a green light illuminate a white book, the reflection will cause the blue cones of an observer to be stimulated and will send a signal to the brain by way of the optic nerve. Because leaves on a plant reflect green light when illuminated by white light, the green…arrow_forwardWhat is the speed of light ( km/s) in a medium with refractive index n = 1.3? Assume the speed of light in vacuum = 300000km/s and round your final answer in two decimal places. and do not add units.arrow_forward
- The explanation given in your textbook for the color of the setting Sun should apply equally well to the rising Sun, since sunlight travels the same distance through the atmosphere to reach your eyes at either sunrise or sunset. Typically, however, sunsets are redder than sunrises. Why? (Hint: Particles of all kinds in the atmosphere contribute to scattering.)arrow_forwardA light ray is moving from air into a piece of glass with an index of refraction = 1.60. The light ray makes an angle of incidence of 30o, as shown in the diagram below. Determine the angle of reflection and the angle of refraction. (Don’t measure them. Calculate them)arrow_forwardConsider an opaque body capable of absorbing blue light and illuminated by (a) white light and (b) magenta light. What will be its color for each case?arrow_forward

Typically, however, sunsets are redder than sunrises. Why? (Hint: Particles of all kinds in the atmosphere contribute to scattering.)arrow_forwardIn the diagram, light travels from material a, through three layers of other materials with surfaces parallel to one another, and then back into another layer of material a. The refractions (but not the associated reflections) at the surfaces are shown. Rank the materials according to their indices of refraction, greatest first.arrow_forward
