Consider the previous set-up in figure 1. Answer the Figure 2, Considering a ray of light strikes material (a) at 30 degrees from the normal. What is the refracted angle from air to material? If this refracted ray strike the material (b) glass what is the refracted angle and the angle of incidence?
A plane wave hits a piece of glass whose front surface is spherical and whose back surface is plane. The radius of the lens is 10 cm and the thickness of the glass is 1 cm at the center, as shown in the diagram at right. At time t1, the center of the plane wavefront has just reached the lens. A short time later, at time t2, the center of the wavefront will have passed completely through the glass, as shown. a) Find the time that elapses between t1 and t2, the time it takes the center of the wavefront to pass thorugh the middle 1 cm of the glass. b) Find the amount by which the edges of the wavefront at t2 will be ahead of the cetner of the wavefront, due to the fact that these edges passed through empty space, with no glass in their paths.

Let v be the wave's speed, λ its wavelength, and f its frequency. These quantities are related via the equation v=λf. Note that, if the wave speed decreases, the wavelength must also decrease for the frequency to remain constant. What is the wavelength λ of light in glass, if its wavelength in air is λ0, its speed in air is c, and its speed in the glass is v? Express your answer in terms of λ0, c, and v. If light strikes the air/glass interface at an angle 32.0 degrees to the normal, what is the angle of reflection, θr?
A narrow beam of light is incident on the left side of the prism shown in the figure below. The prism is a right triangle, with two of its angles measuring 45°. A) The transmitted beam that exits the hypotenuse of the prism makes an angle of ? = 17.5° with the direction of the incident beam. What is the index of refraction of the prism? B) In part (a), we assumed the beam was monochromatic. Consider instead the case where the beam was composed of white light. Because the index of refraction differs for different wavelengths, the white light would be dispersed into constituent colors. Assume the index of refraction for blue wavelengths is 1.01n and for red wavelengths it is 0.99n, where n is the index of refraction found in part (a). What is the angular spread (in degrees) between red and blue light exiting the prism?
I’ll try this again. Can someone please help direct me on where to start on the problem in the attached photo ? I know I need to integrate, I just don’t know exactly how to setup the problem. Thanks!
