Question

Transcribed Image Text:*66 o In Fig. 33-62, a light ray in
air is incident at angle 6, on a block
of transparent plastic with an index
of refraction of 1.56. The dimen-
sions indicated are H= 2.00 cm
and W = 3.00 cm. The light passes
through the block to one of its sides
and there undergoes reflection (in-
side the block) and possibly
refraction (out into the air). This is
the point of first reflection. The re-
flected light then passes through
the block to another of its sides-a point of second reflection. If
6 = 40°, on which side is the point of (a) first reflection and
(b) second reflection? If there is refraction at the point of (c) first
reflection and (d) second reflection, give the angle of refraction;
if not, answer "none." If 61 = 70°, on which side is the point of
(e) first reflection and (f) second reflection? If there is refrac-
tion at the point of (g) first reflection and (h) second reflection,
give the angle of refraction; if not, answer “none."
