Calculate the index of refraction for a medium in which the speed of light is 2.012108m/s , and identify the most likely substance based on Table 25.1.
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.
What is the speed of light in water? In glycerine?
A certain kind of glass has an index of refraction of 1.650 for blue light of wavelength 430 nm and an index of 1.615 for red light of wavelength 680 nm. If a beam containing these two colors is incident at an angle of 30.00 on a piece of this glass, what is the angle between the two beams inside the glass?
In a laboratory accident, you spill two liquids onto different parts of a water surface. Neither of the liquids mixes with the water. Both liquids form thin films on the water surface. As the films spread and become very thin, you notice that one film becomes brighter and the other darker in reflected light. Why?
In what substance in Table 25.1 is the speed of light 2.290108m/s ?
A layer of ice having parallel sides floats on water. If light is incident on the upper surface of the ice at an angle of incidence of 30.0, what is the angle of refraction in the water?
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?
The speed of a water wave is described by v=gd, where d is the water depth, assumed to be small compared to the wavelength. Because their speed changes, water waves refract when moving into a region of different depth. (a) Sketch a map of an ocean beach on the eastern side of a landmass. Show contour lines of constant depth under water, assuming a reasonably uniform slope. (b) Suppose waves approach the coast from a storm far away to the northnortheast. Demonstrate that the waves move nearly perpendicular to the shoreline when they reach the beach. (c) Sketch a map of a coastline with alternating bays and headlands as suggested in Figure P34.26. Again make a reasonable guess about the shape of contour lines of constant depth. (d) Suppose waves approach the coast, carrying energy with uniform density along originally straight wave fronts. Show that the energy reaching the coast is concentrated at the headlands and has lower intensity in the bays. Figure P34.26
A beam in air strikes a glass ball as shown in Figure 37.8. Draw the reflected ray.
Light in medium A undergoes a total internal reflection as it reaches the interface with medium B. Which of the following statements must be true (choose all that apply)? (a) nB nA (b) nB nA (c) All light rays that undergo a total internal reflection travel along the interface between the two materials. (d) Light traveling in the opposite direction, from B into A, cannot undergo a total internal reflection.
