A light ray traveling in air is incident on one face of a right-angle prism with index of refraction n = 1.49, as shown in Figure P22.54, and the ray follows the path shown in the figure. Assuming that θ = 58.0° and the base of the prism is mirrored, determine the angle made by the outgoing ray with the normal to the right face of the prism.?degrees
A transparent cylinder of radius R = 2.00 m has a mirrored surface on its right half, as shown in Figure P22.55 (page 800). A light ray traveling in air is incident on the left side of the cylinder. The incident light ray and the exiting light ray are parallel, and d = 2.00 m. Determine the index of refraction of the material.
