You can determine the index of refraction of a substance by determining its critical angle. (a) What is the index of refraction of a substance that has a critical angle of 68.4° when submerged in water? What Is the substance, based on Table 1.1? (b) What would the critical angle be for this substance in air?
An optician directs a beam of light at right angles to the long face (or hypotenuse) of a 45°–45°–90° prism immersed in air, as shown in the figure below. The beam undergoes total internal reflection at each of the two sides making up the legs of the right triangle. For this to occur, what must be the minimum index of refraction for the material making up the prism? A horizontal ray is normally incident on the long, hypotenuse face of a right-triangular prism. The ray extends unbent to the upper leg of the triangular prism, then reflects to move straight down. The ray is then incident on the lower leg of the triangular prism, and reflects to the left. The ray finally passes unbent through the hypotenuse of the triangular prism and extends to the left.
As shown in the figure, a light beam travels from air, through olive oil, and then into water. If the angle of refraction ?2 for the light in the olive oil is 33.2°, determine the angle of incidence ?1 in air and the angle of refraction ?3 in water. The index of refraction for olive oil is 1.47. ?1 = ? ° ?3 = ? °

If a light ray travelling straight up is incident from the cavity into the block as shown in the figure, what angle does the refracted light ray make with the indicated normal? Enter -1 if the light ray does not exit the cavity at the indiciated point because of total internal reflection.
