. Next, someone enters the same room and installs a new light bulb that only produces red light. What color does the fire truck appear to be now? What about the walls of the room? Explain. 6. In a room lit by white light, you see a yellow shirt. (You see yellow when both green and red light reach your eyes together).

What is most likely to happen to a beam of light when it reflects from a shiny metallic surface at an arbitrary angle? Choose the best answer, (a) It is totally absorbed by the surface, (b) It is totally polarized, (c) It is un-polarized. (d) It is partially polarized, (e) More information is required.
Under what conditions can light be modeled like a ray? Like a wave?
Why does the wavelength of light decrease when it passes from vacuum into a medium? State which attributes change and which stay the same and, thus, require the wavelength to decrease.
Does the fact that the light flash from lightning teaches you before its sound prove that the speed of light is extremely large or simply that it is greater than the speed at sound? Discuss how you could use this effect to get an estimate of the speed of light.
(a) At the end of Example 25.4, it was stated that the critical angle for light going from diamond to air is 24.4°. Verify this. (b) What is the critical angle for light going from zircon to air?
Suppose you find experimentally that two colors of light, A and B, originally traveling in the same direction in air, are sent through a glass prism, and A changes direction more than B. Which travels more slowly in the prism, A or B? Alternatively, is there insufficient information to determine which moves more slowly?
A bright white light under water is collimated and directed upon a prism, What range of colors does one see emerging?
A scuba diver training in a pool looks at his instructor as shown in Figure 25.53. What angle does the ray from the instructor’s face make with the perpendicular to the water at the point where the ray enters? The angle between the ray in the water and the perpendicular to the water is 25.0°. Figure 25.53 A scuba diver in a pool and his trainer look at each other.
(a) Light reflected at 62.5° from a gemstone in a ring is completely polarized. Can the gem be a diamond? (b) At what angle would the light be completely polarized if the gem was in water?
The wavelength of light changes when it passes from one medium into another. Suppose green light at 550.0 nm passesfrom air into glass (n = 1.5). a. What is its wavelength in glass? b. What is its frequency? c. Do you see the same color in both media?
