What is the case when the angle of refraction is smaller than the angle of incidence? (7.2) (a) The critical angle is exceeded. (b) The first medium is less dense. (c) The second medium has a smaller index of refraction. (d) The speed of light is greater in the second medium.
A narrow beam of light is incident from air onto a glass surface with index of refraction 1.56. Find the angle of incidence for which the corresponding angle of refraction is one-half the angle of incidence. Hint: You might want to use the trigonometric identity sin 2 = 2 sin cos .
A light ray initially in water enters a transparent substance at an angle of incidence of 37.0, and the transmitted ray is refracted at an angle of 25.0. Calculate the speed of light in the transparent substance.
Three sheets of plastic have unknown indices of refraction. Sheet 1 is placed on top of sheet 2, and a laser beam is directed onto the sheets from above so that it strikes the interface at an angle of 26.5 with the normal. The refracted beam in sheet 2 makes an angle of 31.7 with the normal. The experiment is repeated with sheet 3 on lop of sheet 2, and with the same angle of incidence, the refracted beam makes an angle of 36.7 with the normal. If the experiment is repeated again with sheet 1 on top of sheet 3, what is the expected angle of refraction in sheet 3? Assume the same angle of incidence.
