Consider a ray of light that propagates from air ( n=1 ) to any one of the materials listed below. Assuming that the ray strikes the interface with any of the listed materials always at the same angle θ1 , in which material will the direction of propagation of the ray change the most due to refraction? What is the critical angle θcrit for light propagating from a material with index of refraction of 1.50 to a material with index of refraction of 1.00?
White light is incident on a 30o prism at the 40o angle shown in the figure. Violet light emerges perpendicular to the rear face of the prism. The index of refraction of violet light in this glass is 2.0% larger than the index of refraction for red light. At what angle ϕ does red light emerge from the rear face? Recall that nair = 1.0
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
A ray of light strikes the midpoint of one face of an equiangular(60°–60°–60°) glass prism (n = 1.5) at an angle ofincidence of 30.0°.

A certain kind of glass has nblue = 1.650 for blue light and nred = 1.610 for red light. If a beam of white light (containing all colors) is incident at an angle of 30.0º, what is the angle between the red and blue light inside the glass?
A light ray entering an optical fiber made from crown glass and surrounded by air is first refracted and then reflected as shown in the figure above. Enter, in internal notation, using the appropriate brackets and without spaces, the set of incident angles theta 1 for which the fiber undergoes total internal reflection.
What is the answer to this question in 3 sig figs? Question. The critical angle for an air-glass interface is 29.2°. When a light ray in air is incident on the interface, the reflected ray is 100% polarized. What is the angle of refraction of that ray in degrees? (numerical answer only with 3 sig figs please)
When a light ray crosses from water into glass, it emerges at an angle of 30° with respect to the normal of the interface. What is its angle of incidence? I used Snell's Law to find the angle of incidence as 34.8 degrees (rounded to 3 sig fig), using index of refraction for water as 1.333 and for glass as 1.52. However, the answer was marked as wrong. Could you please explain steps for solving to get theta as approximately 42 degrees?
A light ray strikes a 10-cm-thick glass pane, making a 30° angle to the perpendicular to the glass as it enters. When the ray reemerges into air on the other side of the pane, how much has it been displaced from where it would have been if the glass weren't there (this is the distance d indicated in the figure below)?

A beaker with a mirrored bottom is filled with a liquid whose index of refraction is nliq = 1.05. A light ray from air strikes the top surface of the liquid at an incident angle θin = 32.4° from the normal line to the liquid surface, as shown in the figure. What is the refraction angleθ2 of the light ray as it enters the liquid (in degrees; remember to use the scientific notation of numbers)?
