A light ray travels from air, through a tw = 2.00 mm thick layer of water, through a tg 5.00 mm thick layer of glass, and then back into air. The speed of light in air is 3.00 x 108 m/s, the speed of light in water is 2.25 x 108 m/s, and the speed of light in glass is 2.00 x 108 m/s. When the light re-emerges into the air, how much has it moved horizontally, i.e., what is d in Figure 3? The angle of incidence for the light at the air/water interface is 30.0°. = [10 I tw tg

A goldfish is swimming inside a spherical bowl of water having an index of refraction n = 1.333. Suppose the goldfish is p = 10.0 cm from the wall of a howl of radius |R| = 15.0 cm. as in Figure P23.22. Neglecting the refraction of light caused by the wall of the bowl, determine the apparent distance of the goldfish from the wall according to an observer outside the bowl. Figure P23.22

Light enters a prism of crown glass and refracts at an angle of 5.00 with respect to the normal at the interface. The crown glass has a mean index of refraction of 1.51. It is combined with one flint glass prism (n = 1.65) to produce no net deviation. a. Find the apex angle of the flint glass. b. Assume the index of refraction for violet light (v = 430 nm) is nv = 1.528 and the index of refraction for red light (r = 768 nm) is nr = 1.511 for crown glass. For flint glass using the same wavelengths, nv = 1.665 and nr = 1.645. Find the net dispersion.
