Chapter 34, Problem 5P
You are working for an optical research company during a summer break. Part of the apparatus in one particular experiment is shown in Figure 34.7b. In fact, the experimenter used this text book to set up this part of the experiment, and also used the result in the What If? section to determine the angular change in direction of the light beam:
The experimenter is constantly grumbling that the measuring device to determine the angle ϕ on the inside of the mirrors is constantly getting in the wav of the light beam and making his life difficult. You quickly draw Figure P34.5 and then say. “Then why don’t you use the measuring device to measure the angle δ outside the mirror, and then your device won’t get in the way of the light?”
The experimenter, who has never thought of this, tries to save face and says to you. “Well, Smarty, then tell me how angle β depends on angle δ!” You provide him the answer quickly.

- Three sheets of plastic have unknown indices of refraction. Sheet 1 is placed on top of sheet 2, and a laser beam is directed onto the sheets from above so that it strikes the interface at an angle of 26.6deg with the normal. The refracted beam in sheet 2 makes an angle of 31.4deg with the normal. The experiment is repeated with sheet 3 on top of sheet 2 and, with the same angle of incidence, the refracted beam makes an angle of 36.8deg with the normal. If the experiment is repeated again with sheet 1 on top of sheet 3, what is the expected angle of refraction in sheet 3? Assume the same angle of incidence.arrow_forwardEdward and Calil do some experiments to determine the speed of light in a special transparent material. They determine the speed of light to be 0.23c.
