(a) The speed of a 500 nm light is 3 .00x10^8 m/s in vacuum and 1.95x10^8 m/s in a certain glass. What is the index of refraction of the light? (b) What is the frequency of the 500 nm light in a vacuum? (c) What is the frequency of the 500 nm light in the glass? (d)If the 500 nm light is incident on a flat boundary between the glass part in Ia and air (nair= 1.00) as shown, what is the angle of reflection? Sketch on the given diagram. Do the same work for the refracted ray.
