?1 = 38.6°.
The glass is 2.00 cm thick and has an index of refraction that equals
ng = 1.52.
a.) The distance d separates the twice-bent ray from the path it would have taken without the glass in the way. What is this distance (in cm)?
b.) At what speed (in m/s) does the light travel within the glass?
c.) How many nanoseconds does the light take to pass through the glass along the angled path shown here?
A light beam is traveling through an unknown substance. When it strikes a boundary between that substance and the air
(nair ≈1), the angle of reflection is 26.0° and the angle of refraction is 41.0°.
What is the index of refraction n of the substance?

a. A ray of light starts at position (x,y)=(−3.0,1.0) cm and moves along 35∘ counterclockwise from the +x−axis and intersects a solid glass sphere at point A, then exits the glass sphere at point B. If the center of a glass sphere is at (5.0,0) cm and the radius of the sphere is 7.0 cm, find the locations of point A and B, then draw their normal vector, incident ray, refracted ray, and reflected ray. Use your compass and ruler together with laws of reflection and refraction.
