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.
A beam of light shines on an equilateral glass prism at an angle of 41° to one face. 1) What is the angle at which the light emerges from the opposite face? nglass = 1.57 (Express to 3 sig fig)
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.

Part (b) At what angle does the violet (410 nm) component of light emerge from the prism given that crown glass has an n = 1.530 index of refraction for this wavelength? Give your answer in degrees.

3. Two triangular prisms are placed side by side, such that the second is inverted. What would happen to white light once it passes through these two prisms and why? After the first prism, white light will be divided into the color components and continue to further bend after passing the second. After the first prism, white light will be divided into the color components and rejoin into white light after passing the second. After the first prism, white light will be divided into the color components and total internal reflection will occur while passing the second. After the first prism, white light will be divided into the color components and colors will be inverted after passing the second.
