- Consider a common mirage formed by superheated air immediately above a roadway. A truck driver whose eyes are 2.00 m above the road, where n = 1.000 293, looks forward. She perceives the illusion of a patch of water ahead on the road. The road appears wet only beyond a point on the road at which her line of sight makes an angle of 1.20 below the horizontal. Find the index of refraction of the air immediately above the road surface.arrow_forwardA light ray initially in water enters a transparent substance at an angle of incidence of 37.0, and the transmitted lay is refracted at an angle of 25.0.

- Three sheets of plastic have unknown indices of refraction. Sheet 1 is placed on top of sheet 2, and a laser beam is directed onto the sheets from above so that it strikes the interface at an angle of 26.5 with the normal. The refracted beam in sheet 2 makes an angle of 31.7 with the normal. The experiment is repeated with sheet 3 on lop of sheet 2, and with the same angle of incidence, the refracted beam makes an angle of 36.7 with the normal.
