Polychromatic (multiple-wavelength) light consisting of three separate wavelengths is incident from air onto a block of glass. After entering the glass, the three wavelengths separate into different directions as shown in the figure below: В Select all the true statements. V Light ray C has the shortest wavelength. The light rays bend at different angles when entering the glass because they lose different amounts of energy. V The light rays bend at different angles when entering the glass because of dispersion; different wavelengths of light experience different refractive indices in a given material. O The light rays bend at different angles when entering the glass because they are incident on the glass at different angles.

Imagine a ray of light passing between air (n~1) and glass (n~1.5). If the ray of light hits the glass from the air at an angle of 60 degrees, what will the new angle of the light be relative to that air-glass interface as it travels through the glass? (Hint: Remember that you need to focus on the angle of the light relative to a line perpendicular to the air-glass interface when using Snell's Law)
The laws of refraction and reflection are the same for sound as for light. The speed of sound in air is 340 m/s and in water it is 1510 m/s. If a sound wave approaches a plane water surface at an angle of incidence of 12.0o, what is the angle of refraction? (Hint: Determine how velocities of a wave in a medium relate to Snell’s Law) The angle of refraction is how many degrees? (3 significant figures) Thank you.
