Textbook Question
Chapter 24.4, Problem 1cTH
The following are top view diagrams of solid cylinders and cubes. Assume that light travels more slowly through the objects than through the surrounding medium.
Each diagram shows a path for light that is not qualitatively correct; there is at least one flaw, perhaps more, in each diagram. Identify all flaws. Explain your reasoning.

One well-known image of a prism is the following picture
a. Given the pattern of light on the far side of the prism, is the index of refraction
inside the prism higher or lower than the index of refraction outside the prism?
b. List at least one thing that is wrong with this diagram given what we expect the
dependence of n on the wavelength of light to be (and assuming the prism is
made of a uniform material).
c. List at least one thing that is right with this diagram given what we expect the
dependence of n on the wavelength of light to be (and assuming the prism is
made of a uniform material).
Read the following problem and solve the following questions. Show your complete solutions legibly and concisely in the space provided.
A light is traveling from air into an optic fiber having an index of refraction of 1.44.
a. Which direction should the light bend?
b. Given a 22 degree angle of incidence on the end of the fiber, what is the angle of refraction inside the fiber?
c. Make a sketch of the path of life as the media changes.
Please only answer question 9. I included question 8 as well to give the background of the question. Please give a detailed explanation for why the total internal reflection occurs when the incident angle is greater than the critical angle. Please explain each step carefully with good reasoning.

Choose all that apply. O If light from a star passes through an exoplanet's atmosphere, we can look at the absorption spectra to determine what elements & compounds are in the atmosphere. O For a telescope, decreasing f, will increase the actual size of the image seen by the person looking through the telescope. O In crown glass, the index of refraction for blue light is 1.524 and for green light it is 1.519. Thus in crown glass, blue light is slower than green light. O If unpolarized light is incident on a polarizer, 0% will pass through. O The glasses for farsighted people create virtual images for them to see.
