Chapter 34, Problem 136P
A corner reflector, much used in optical, microwave, and other applications, consists of three plane mirrors fastened together to form the corner of a cube. Show that after three reflections, an incident ray is returned with its direction exactly reversed.

When light is incident on an interface between two materials, the angle of therefracted ray depends on the wavelength, but the angle of the reflected ray does not.Why should this be true?
Light coming from a fish makes an incidence angle of 30° to normal under the water. The index of refraction
of water is 1.33. A fisherman is looking at the fish through air. At what angle with the normal (6, ) will the fish
appear to the fisherman? Use Snell's law: n, sin e, = n, sine,
109 In Fig. 34-54, a fish watcher at
point P watches a fish through a
glass wall of a fish tank. The watcher
is level with the fish; the index of re-
fraction of the glass is 8/5, and that Watcher
of the water is 4/3. The distances are
di = 8.0 cm, dz = 3.0 cm, and dz =
6.8 cm. (a) To the fish, how far away
does the watcher appear to be?
(Hint: The watcher is the object.
Light from that object passes
through the wall's outside surface, which acts as a refracting sur-
face. Find the image produced by that surface. Then treat that im-
age as an object whose light passes through the wall's inside sur-
face, which acts as another refracting surface.) (b) To the watcher,
how far away does the fish appear to be?
