The composition of the ancient atmosphere can be determined by analyzing bubbles of air trapped in amber, which is fossilized tree resin. (This is oneway we know that the air in the time of the dinosaurs was richer in oxygen than our current atmosphere.) An air bubble appears to be 7.2 mm below the flat surface of a piece of amber, which has index of refraction 1.54. How long a needle is required to reach the bubble?
Incident white light in air (nair=1) encounters a a piece of plastic as shown in the figure
below. The index of refraction for blue light is ng=1.36 and the index of refraction for
red light is nr=1.28.
After the light passes through the fırst boundary, the blue light undergoes total
internal reflection when it encounters the plastic to air boundary from the inside at
exactly the critical angle. The red light gets refracted when it encounters the plastic to
air boundary from the inside.
a) Draw and label a qualitative ray diagram for the light rays for the whole process.
b) Find the incident angle of the white light. (you have to really think about what is
incident and what is transmitted)
c) Using the result from (b), find the angle the red light exits the plastic (no additional
points will be taken off if your first result is incorrect).
n.
'air
The critical angle from a particular medium into air is 60.7°. What is the index of refraction for this medium?
