Question

Windshield contains 2.00 mm thick glass with an index of refraction of 1.518 and is coated with a 0.700 µm thick layer of methanol (n=1.329). There is the air surrounding the whole system . A ray of sunlight passes through the air and impinges on the methanol layer with an angle of 30.0° relative to the normal.

a) What is the angle of refraction of the light at the air→methanol interface?

b) What is the speed of light in methanol?

c) Is there total internal reflection at the methanol→ glass interface? Explain.

d) What wavelength(s) of visible light will be only weakly reflected off of the air→ methanol interface? Note that visible light is from 380-750 nm and that “weakly reflected” means less light reaches an observer’s eye than would be normally expected.
