The speed of these ultrasound waves is 1480 m/s in muscle and344 m/s in air. We define the index of refraction of a material for soundwaves to be the ratio of the speed of sound in air to the speed of soundin the material.

Question

33.37 • BIO Heart Sonogram. Physicians use high-frequency
(f = 1–5 MHz) sound waves, called ultrasound, to image internal or-
gans. The speed of these ultrasound waves is 1480 m/s in muscle and
344 m/s in air. We define the index of refraction of a material for sound
waves to be the ratio of the speed of sound in air to the speed of sound
in the material. Snell's law then applies to the refraction of sound waves.
(a) At what angle from the normal does an ultrasound beam enter the
heart if it leaves the lungs at an angle of 9.73° from the normal to the
heart wall? (Assume that the speed of sound in the lungs is 344 m/s.)
(b) What is the critical angle for sound waves in air incident on muscle?

Can a sound wave in air be polarized? Explain.
Unreasonable Results To save money on making military aircraft invisible to radar, an inventor decides to coat them with a non-reflective material having an index of refraction of 1.20, which is between that of air and the surface of the plane. This, he reasons, should be much cheaper than designing Stealth bombers. (a) What thickness should the coating be to inhibit the reflection of 4.00-cm wavelength radar? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?
You are told not to shoot until you see the whites of their eyes. If the eyes are separated by 6.5 cm and the diameter of your pupil is 5.0 mm, at what distance can you resolve the two eyes using light of wavelength 555 nm?
The explanation given in your textbook for the color of the setting Sun should apply equally well to the rising Sun, since sunlight travels the same distance through the atmosphere to reach your eyes at either sunrise or sunset. Typically, however, sunsets are redder than sunrises. Why? (Hint: Particles of all kinds in the atmosphere contribute to scattering.)
A windshield contains 2.00 mm thick glass with an index of refraction of 1.518 and is coated with a0.700 μm thick layer of methanol (n=1.329). There is air surrounding the whole system (as the only carnot surrounded by Earth’s atmosphere is the one Elon Musk shot into space in 2018). A ray of sunlightpasses through the air and impinges on the methanol layer with an angle of 30.0° relative to the normal.a) What is the angle of refraction of the light at the air→methanol interface?b) What is the speed of light in methanol?c) Is there total internal reflection at the methanol→ glass interface? Explain.d) What wavelength(s) of visible light will be only weakly reflected off of the air→ methanolinterface? Note that visible light is from 380-750 nm and that “weakly reflected” means less lightreaches an observer’s eye than would be normally expected.

Interesting things can happen when light reflects from a fish tank, since there are three interfaces - air, crown glass (ng = 1.48), and water (nw = 1.33). Randomized Variablesng = 1.48 At what incident angle, with respect to the normal to the interface, is light inside the crown glass completely polarized when reflected from water?
Fiber optic cables, such as those used for high speed communication (Internet & phone services), transmit signals as light pulses through transparent cables. When viewed from one of the ends, you can see these light pulses, but when viewed from the side you can't. Why does this happen?
Components of some computers communicate with each other through optical fibers having an index of refraction n = 1.45. What time in nanoseconds is required for a signal to travel 0.180 m through such a fiber? ns
Two polarizing sheets P1 and P2 are placed together with their transmission axes oriented at an angle to each other. What is when only 25% of the maximum transmitted light intensity passes through them?
