In placing a sample on a microscope slide, a glass cover is placed over a water drop on the glass slide. Light incident fromabove can reflect from the top and bottom of the glass cover and from the glass slide below the water drop. At which surfaceswill there be a phase change in the reflected light?
(a) Light passes from air into a 25 percent sugar solution at an incident angle of 35°. Calculate the angle of the refracted wave. (b) Light passes fr ethyl alcohol to air at an incident angle of 12°. Calculate the angle of the refracted wave in the air. (c) Draw pictures of each situation showing the interference between the media, the normal line, the incident, reflected and refracted rays and the angles of these rays to the normal line.
The index of refraction for violet light in silica flint glass is 1.67 and that for red light is 1.62 . What is the angular dispersion of visible light passing through an equilateral prism of apex angle 60.0o if the angle of incidence is 47.00o?
