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?

Light traveling through medium 3 (n3 = 2.4) is incident on the interface with medium 2 (n2 = 2.0) at angle θ. If light does enter into medium 2 but no light enters into medium 1 (n1 = 1.6), what can we conclude about the range of values for θ?
Often in optics scientists take advantage of effects that require very high intensity light. To get the desired effect a scientist uses a laser with power P = 0.0065 W to reach an intensity of I = 170 W/cm2 by focusing it through a lens of focal length f = 0.11 m. The beam has a radius of r = 0.0011m when it enters the lens. Randomized VariablesP = 0.0065 WI = 170 W/cm2f = 0.11 mr = 0.0011
Part (a) Express the radius of the beam, rp, at the point where it reaches the desired intensity in terms of the given quantities. (In other words, what radius does the beam have to have after passing through the lens in order to have the desired intensity?)
Part (b) Give an expression for the tangent of the angle that the edge of the beam exits the lens with with respect to the normal to the lens surface, in terms of r and f?
Part (c) Express the distance, D, between the lens's focal point and the illuminated object using tan(α) and rp. Part (d) Find the distance, D, in centimeters.…
