Students have asked these similar questions
A light ray traveling in air is incident on one face of a right-angle prism with index of refraction n = 1.49, as shown in Figure P22.54, and the ray follows the path shown in the figure. Assuming that θ = 58.0° and the base of the prism is mirrored, determine the angle made by the outgoing ray with the normal to the right face of the prism.?degrees
The angle of a prism is A°. One of its refracting surfaces is silvered. Light rays falling at an angle of incidence 24 on the first surface returns back through the same path after suffering reflection at the silvered surface. The refractive index u , of the prism is : a. 2 cos A 1 b. cos A c. tan A d. 2 sin A
Figure P22.59 shows the path of a beam of light through severallayers with different indices of refraction. (a) If Θ1 = 30.0°,what is the angle Θ2 of the emerging beam? (b) What must the incident angle Θ1 be to have total internal reflection at thesurface between the medium with n = 1.20 and the mediumwith n = 1.00?
