Chapter 7, Problem 3MC

What is the case when the angle of refraction is smaller than the angle of incidence? (7.2)

  1. (a) The critical angle is exceeded.
  2. (b) The first medium is less dense.
  3. (c) The second medium has a smaller index of refraction.
  4. (d) The speed of light is greater in the second medium.

(b). A ray of light passes from glass to water. The angle of incidence in the glass is 35°, take the refractive indices of glass and water to be 1.52 and1.33, respectively. (i). What is the angle of refraction in the water? (ii). At what angle will total internal reflection occur between the glass-water interface?
Suppose light travels from water to another substance, with an angle of incidence of 10.0° and an angle of refraction of 14.9°. (a) What is the index of refraction of the other substance? (b) What is unreasonable about thisresult? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?
A ray of light enters the long side of a 45°-90°-45° prism and undergoes two total internal reflections. As a result, the ray reverses its direction.(a) What is the minimum value of the prism’s index of refraction for these internal reflections to be total?
