In Figure (a), a beam of light in material 1 is incident on a boundary at an angle of 28° The extent to which the light is bent due to refraction depends, in part, on the index of refraction n2 of material 2. Figure (b) gives the angle of refraction 02 versus n2 for a range of possible n2 values, from n, = 1.36 to n, = 1.94. What is the speed of light in material 1? 38° 28 28 18 na (a) (b) Number i ! Units m/s
a) For light normally incident on an interface between vacuum and a transparent medium of index n, show that the intensity S2 of the transmitted light is given by the following equation. b) Light travels perpendicularly through a slab of gallium phosphide, surrounded by air, with parallel surfaces of entry and exit. Apply the transmission fraction in part (a) to find the approximate overall percent transmission through the slab of gallium phosphide. Ignore light reflected back and forth within the slab.
In Figure, light is incident at angle 0,=40.1° on a boundary between two transparent materials. Some of the light travels down through the next three layers of transparent materials, while some of it reflects upward and then escape into the air. If n;=1.3, n,= 1.4, n;=1.32, and ng= 1.45, what is Air the value of (a) 0g and (b) 04?
