- Why is the following situation impossible? A laser beam strikes
one end of a slab of material of length L = 42.0 cm and
thickness t = 3.10 mm as shown in Figure P34.36 (not to
scale). It enters the material at the center of the left end,
striking it at an angle of incidence of 0 = 50.0°. The index of
refraction of the slab is n = 1.48. The light makes 85 inter-
nal reflections from the top and bottom of the slab before
exiting at the other end.

The data on a CD is stored as a series of pits in a spiral track on a metal information layer (see figure (a) below). Affixed to this layer is a layer of polycarbonate plastic with a thickness of t = 1.20 mm
and an index of refraction of n = 1.55 (see figure (b) below). A laser beam enters this plastic layer from below and is refracted to a width of a = 1.60 μm in order to read the data on a single track. A
lens makes the beam converge into a cone with an apex angle 20₁ before it enters the plastic layer, and its width as it enters the layer is w = 0.698 mm. What is the incidence angle 0₁ (in degrees) of
the light at the edge of the conical beam?

- Light is incident on a prism as shown in Figure P38.31. The prism, an equilateral triangle, is made of plastic with an index of refraction of 1.46 for red light and 1.49 for blue light. Assume the apex angle of the prism is 60.00. a. Sketch the approximate paths of the rays for red and blue light as they travel through and then exit the prism. b. Determine the measure of dispersion, the angle between the red and blue rays that exit the prism. Figure P38.31arrow_forwardFigure P23.28 shows a curved surface separating a material with index of refraction n1 from a material with index n2. The surface forms an image I of object O. The ray shown in red passes through the surface along a radial line. Its angles of incidence and refraction are both zero, so its direction does not change at the surface. For the ray shown in blue, the direction changes according to n1 sin 1 = n2 sin 2. For paraxial rays, we assume 1 and 2 are small, so we may write n1 tan 1 n2 tan 2. The magnification is defined as M = h/h. Prove that the magnification is given by M = n1q/n2p. Figure P23.28arrow_forward71.

- Problem 6: Fiber optics are an important part of our modern internet. In these fibers, two different glasses are used to confine the light by total internal reflection at the critical angle for the interface between the core (ncore = 1.508 ) and the cladding (ncladding = 1.43). Part (a) Numerically, what is the largest angle (in degrees) a ray will make with respect to the interface of the fiber θmax, and still experience total internal reflection? Part (b) Suppose you wanted the largest angle at which total internal reflection occurred to be θmax = 5 degrees. What index of refraction does the cladding need if the core is unchanged?arrow_forwardElectric room heaters use a concave mirror to reflect infrared (IR) radiation from hot coils.

How far away are the coils from the mirror? cm away. What is the absolute value of the magnification of the heater element? Magnification = .
