Exercise 5 (a.) For light travelling in a medium of refractive index n, and incident on the boundary with a medium of refractive index n2, explain what is meant by total internal reflection and state the circumstances in which it occurs. (b.) A cube of glass of refractive index 1.500 is placed on a horizontal surface separated from the lower face the cube by a film of liquid, as shown in the diagram. A ray of light from outside and in a vertical plane parall to one face of the cube strikes another vertical face of the cube at an angle of incidence of i = 48° 27' and. after refraction, is totally reflected at the critical angle at the glass-liquid interface. Calculate (i.) the critical angle at the glass-liquid interface and (ii.) the angle of emergence of the ray from the cube.

What minimum path length is needed to introduce a phase shift of 205° in light of wavelength 566 nm? (Give your answer in nm.) What phase shift will that path difference you calculated in part (a) introduce in light of wavelength 799 nm? (Give you answer in degree.)
A narrow beam of light is incident on the left side of the prism shown in the figure below. The prism is a right triangle, with two of its angles measuring 45°. A) The transmitted beam that exits the hypotenuse of the prism makes an angle of ? = 17.5° with the direction of the incident beam. What is the index of refraction of the prism? B) In part (a), we assumed the beam was monochromatic. Consider instead the case where the beam was composed of white light. Because the index of refraction differs for different wavelengths, the white light would be dispersed into constituent colors. Assume the index of refraction for blue wavelengths is 1.01n and for red wavelengths it is 0.99n, where n is the index of refraction found in part (a). What is the angular spread (in degrees) between red and blue light exiting the prism?
A light is to be placed above the center of a circular area of radius a. What height gives the best illumination on a circular walk surrounding the area?

A narrow beam of white light enters a prism made of crown glass at a 45° incident angle, as shown in attached figure 1. At what angles, θR and θV, do the red (660 nm) and violet (410 nm) components of the light emerge from the prism? Feel free to use the table attached for the indices of refraction as a function of wavelength. How would I derive the outgoing angle as a function of the incoming angle and the index of refraction. As I am struggling with this question, any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Two radio antennas separated by d = 270 m, as shown in the figure below, simultaneously broadcast identical signals at the same wavelength. A car travels due north along a straight line at position x = 1,030 m from the center point between the antennas, and its radio receives the signals. Hint: Do not use the small-angle approximation in this problem. (a) If the car is at the position of the second maximum after that at point O when it has traveled a distance of y = 400 m northward, what is the wavelength of the signals? m(b) How much farther must the car travel from this position to encounter the next minimum in reception? m
