A light ray is incident normally to the long face (the hypotenuse) of a 454590 prism surrounded by air, as shown m Figure 22.26b. Calculate the minimum index of refraction of the prism for which the ray will totally internally reflect at each of the two sides making the tight angle.

By ray tracing or by calculation, find the place inside the glass where rays from S converge as a result of refraction through the lens and the convex air-glass interface. Use a ruler to estimate the radius of curvature.
A fish is 3.25 m below the surface of still water (Fig. P38.16). You do not want the fish to see your fishing boat. Is it possible to place your boat so that total internal reflection keeps it hidden from the fish? If so, explain how this is done. If not, explain why not. FIGURE P38.16 Problems 16 and 17.
How can you use total internal reflection to estimate the index of refraction of a medium?
Figure P23.28 shows a curved surface separating a material with index of refraction n1 from a material with index n2. The surface forms an image I of object O. The ray shown in red passes through the surface along a radial line. Its angles of incidence and refraction are both zero, so its direction does not change at the surface. For the ray shown in blue, the direction changes according to n1 sin 1 = n2 sin 2. For paraxial rays, we assume 1 and 2 are small, so we may write n1 tan 1 n2 tan 2. The magnification is defined as M = h/h. Prove that the magnification is given by M = n1q/n2p. Figure P23.28
