Applications Of Reflection Of Light

When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.

Sign Convention for Mirrors

A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.

Question

2. Light traveling in air is incident on the
surface of a block of plastic at an angle of
62.7° to the normal and is bent so that it
makes a 48.1° angle with the normal in the
plastic. Find the speed of light in the plastic.

A light ray navels from vacuum into a slab of material with index of refraction n1 at incident angle with respect to the surface. It subsequently passes into a second slab of material with index of refraction n2 before passing back into vacuum again. The surfaces of the different materials are all parallel to one another. As the light exits the second slab, what can be said of the final angle that the outgoing light makes with the normal? (a) (b) (c) = (d) The angle depends on the magnitudes of n1 and n2. (e) The angle depends on the wavelength of the light.
Figure P23.28 shows a curved surface separating a material with index of refraction n1 from a material with index n2. The surface forms an image I of object O. The ray shown in red passes through the surface along a radial line. Its angles of incidence and refraction are both zero, so its direction does not change at the surface. For the ray shown in blue, the direction changes according to n1 sin 1 = n2 sin 2. For paraxial rays, we assume 1 and 2 are small, so we may write n1 tan 1 n2 tan 2. The magnification is defined as M = h/h. Prove that the magnification is given by M = n1q/n2p. Figure P23.28

As the light exits the second slab, what can be said of the final angle ϕ that the outgoing light makes with the normal? (a) ϕ > θ (b) ϕ < θ (c) ϕ = θ (d) The angle depends on the magnitudes of n1 and n2. (e) The angle depends on the wavelength of the light.

Unpolarized light in vacuum is incident onto a sheet of glass with index of refraction n. The reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other. Find the angle of incidence.
