Consider an E&M wave that is initially traveling in vacuum (with index of refraction nvac = 1.0). The E&M wave is incident on a vacuum glass interface, and we now consider the effect on the properties of the E&M Wave, as it enters a medium with a greater index of refraction (nglass = 1.5).

A light is to be placed directly above the center of a circular plot of radius 30 ft, at such a height that the edge of the plot will get maximum illumination.

The quantity nt as shown is called the optical path length corresponding to the geometrical distance t and is analogous to the quantity δ as shown, the path difference. The optical path length is proportional to n because a larger index of refraction shortens the wavelength, so more cycles of a wave fit into a particular geometrical distance.

(b) Compute the optical path length corresponding to the 20.0-cm height of the tank by calculating ∫20cm n(y)dy (c) Suppose a narrow beam of light is directed into the mixture at a nonzero angle with respect to the normal to the surface of the mixture. Qualitatively describe its path.
