Help please, Show your complete (step-by-step) analysis and solution, with the appropriate equations and/or diagrams. Thank youu! 6. Light travels from air and enters into an equilateral triangular glass (index of refraction of 1.52) at an angle of incidence of 40°. Trace the path of the ray of light from one side of the prism to the other. Indicate where to measure the angles of incidence and refraction, and angle of deviation.
A small drop of water that is free to fall in air will contract into a spherical ball. Suppose that sunlight (this will be as if from infinity) passes into the drop. Approximately where will an image of the Sun form? Water has an index of refraction of about 1.33 for visible light, and to answer this question consider what happens when light passes through the first surface from air into the water. Where does it go? Hint: If in doubt about your math, try an experiment at home. You can use sunlight or a distant flashlight to illuminate a suspended water drop. At the back surface of the drop. Spherical drops cannot form an image. Close to the back far side of the drop, on the outside. Close to the back side of the drop, on the inside
hello. we have our experiment. this is the isntruction HELP ME At the middle of a paper protractor, set a crown glass plate. Shine a laser pointer on the side of the glass plate. After that, identify the normal to the incident ray. Then, measure the angle of refraction of each of the following angles of incidence: 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°. On a graph, plot the sine of the angle of incidence (x-axis) versus the sine of the angle of refraction (y-axis). Using this graph, identify the refractive index of glass and compute the percentage error of the index of refraction. we still haven't done the experiment but my teacher is asking me: WHAT IS THE BEST STATISTICAL TOOL FOR THE EXPERIMENT? I do not know if it is t-test z-test etc. thanks
Problem 7: Consider the situation in the figure - a student diver in a pool and an instructor on the edge, outside the water. Since the indices of refraction of air and water are different, the light rays coming from the diver and the instructor are refracted at the surface, changing their apparent position with respect to each other. The diver sees the instructor at an apparent angle of θa = 26°, measured from the normal to the interface. Part (b) Find the apparent depth of the diver’s head below water as seen by the instructor in meters, assuming the diver and his image both have the same horizontal distance along the surface of the water.

May you answer the question in the image attached below. Also, the answer is not 176 nm. I have tried using it, and it was marked as incorrect because "You may have confused the expressions of constructive and destructive reflection. To find the smallest thickness of the grease layer, recall the definition of the constructive reflection." Thank you.

Based on the experiment below, how will I identify the refractive index using the graph? At the middle of a paper protractor, set a crown glass plate. Shine a laser pointer on the side of the glass plate. After that, identify the normal to the incident ray. Then, measure the angle of refraction of each of the following angles of incidence: 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°. On a graph, plot the sine of the angle of incidence versus the sine of the angle of refraction. Using this graph, identify the refractive index of glass and compute the percentage error of the index of refraction.
