My son Just spilled his soap bubble bottle on our elass patio table, I notice that near the middle and close to the edge, the thin film of soap appears orange. The film is thickest near the middle and thinner near the edge. Soap has an index of refraction of 1.33 and glass has an index of refraction of 1.52. a. Draw a diagram of the thin film of soap on top of glass, Label the index of refraction for each layer in your drawing. Draw the two rays that interfere (one reflected off the top surface of soap and one reflected off the bottom surface of soap), For each reflection, indicate whether there is a phase change upon reflection. b. What are the TWO thinnest layers of soap on glass that can cause me to see 650 nm orange light?

The first medium is air and the second medium is Mystery B. Air has a measured index of refraction of 1.003 but will be taken as having n=1. So, Snell's law reduces to n2=sin01/sin02. From the data and the graph, what is the slope of the line? Then, use Snell's law and the slope value to determine the refractive index of the given material (Mystery B). Record the calculated index of refraction.
A catfish is 1.8 m below the surface of a smooth lake. (a) What is the diameter of the circle on the surface through which the fish can see the world outside the water? (b) If the fish descends, does the diameter of the circle increase, decrease, or remain the same? Assume that the index of refraction of water is 1.333.
A beam of white light is incident on the surface of a diamond at an angle θa. (Figure 1) Since the index of refraction depends on the light's wavelength, the different colors that comprise white light will spread out as they pass through the diamond. For example, the indices of refraction in diamond are nred=2.410for red light and nblue=2.450blue=2.450 for blue light. Thus, blue light and red light are refracted at different angles inside the diamond, as shown in the picture. The surrounding air has nair=1.000 Note that the angles in the figure are not to scale. Now consider θc, the angle at which the blue refracted ray hits the bottom surface of the diamond. If θc is larger than the critical angle θcrit, the light will not be refracted out into the air, but instead it will be totally internally reflected back into the diamond. Find θcrit.
figure qb1e shows a glass tank with a refractive index of 1.47, which contains water with a thick layer of oil floating on top of it. a ray of light is incident on the oil-water boundary at an angle of 44° to the normal. determine the following: (i) the angle of refraction at the oil-water boundary; (ii) the angle of refraction at the water-glass boundary. comment on the value you obtain refractive index of water: 4/3 refractive index of oil = 1.47
that a ray incident on a 30° prism is deflected by 22.6° if the prism’s index of refraction is 1.59.
