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?
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.

The diagram illustrates a light ray originating from the floor of a small room, making an angle ϕ= 37° with the floor.

Suppose you have a concave mirror as shown in the image below. If h = 1.28m is the height of an object (really the displacement of the top of the object from the axis) and h′ = 4.91m is the height of the image, what is the magnitude of the transverse magnification (in units of meters)?
A physicist directs a laser beam through a transparent medium, toward one surface of an equilateral prism. (The beam travels, and remains in, the plane of the page.) Incident on Surface 1 at an angle ?1, the beam then encounters Surface 2 from within the prism. If the angle of incidence at Surface 2 equals ?c , the critical angle for this prism, what is the original incidence angle, ?1 (in degrees)? The critical angle in this case is ?c = 40.5°. 40.5° 40.5° A prism in the shape of an equilateral triangle is shown. The triangle is upside down such that the base of the triangle is at the top of the figure and the apex is at the bottom. A laser beam comes in from the top left, moves down and to the right and is incident on the center of the base of the triangle. This surface is labeled Surface 1. The incident beam makes an angle of ?1 with the vertical. Within the prism, the beam continues to move down and to the right but at a slope which is steeper than the initial beam. It is incident…

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, the angle between two plane mirrors (M1 and M2) is 125°. If the incident ray strikes mirror M1 with an angle of incidence ?1i = 57°, determine the angle of reflection ?2r for mirror M2.
