- Total Internal Reflection When light passes from a more dense to a less dense medium-from glass to air, for example-the angle of refraction predicted by Snells Law see exercise 57 can be 90 or large. In this case the light beam is actually reflected Bach into the denser medium. This phenomenon, called total internal reflection, is the principal behind optics. Set 2=90 in Snells Law, and solve for 1 to determine the critical angle of incidence at which total internal reflection begins to occur when light passes from glass to air. Note that the index of refraction from glass to air is reciprocal of the index from air to glass.arrow_forwardThink About It Complete the table. (a) Discuss the behavior of the sine function for 090. (b) Discuss the behavior of the cosine function for 090. (c) Use the definitions of the sine and cosine functions to explain the results of parts a and b.arrow_forwardArea of a Sector of a Circle Three circles with radii 1, 2 and 3 ft are externally tangent to one another, as shown in the figure. Find the area of the sector of the circle of radius 1 that is cut off by the line segments joining the center of that circle to the centers of the other two circles.arrow_forward
- Belts and Pulleys A thin belt of length L surrounds two pulleys of radii R and r, as shown in the figure (1). aShow that the angle in rad where the belt crosses itself satisfies the equation +2cot2=LR+r Hint: Express L in terms of R, r, and by adding up the lengths of the curved and straight parts of the belt. bSuppose that R=2.42ft, r=1.21ft, and L=27.78ft. Find by solving the equation in part a graphically. Express your answer both in radians and in degrees.
