a) Use the information on fig 9.1 to determine the refractive index of the glass
b) The angle α on Fig 9.1 is not drawn with the correct value. State the correct value of α.
c) After the ray has left the glass block, it passes into a block of ice, whose refractive index is 1.31. How does the speed of light in ice compare with the speed of light in air and the speed of light in glass?
f) The iris of the eye serves two different purposes. First, the iris controls the total amount of light entering the eye so a person can see in varying light levels. Secondly, the iris blocks light from hitting the extreme edges of the crystalline lens. Why might an eye want to block the light hitting the extreme edges of a lens? What is the name for the effect when light does hit the edges of a lens? Can you understand why a person’s vision is blurred when they get their eyes dilated at the doctor?
A ray of light traveling through air enters the left side of a rectangular block as illustrated in the Figure below. Light enters the block and then leaves it. The block material has a refractive index n= 1.35. Calculate the largest angle θ for which total internal reflection can occur within the rectangular block.

- You are working for a solar energy company. Your supervisor has asked you to investigate a new idea that has been proposed for a solar collector.

Your supervisor would like to build a prototype of a material with index of refraction n, but needs for you to calculate the position at which the Suns rays focus and, therefore, to find where to locale the curved track.

The light required for examination is conducted from an outside source along a long, flexible bundle of optical fibers to the tip, where it exits and illuminates the internal cavity.

If each fiber in the bundle has diameter d = 1.00 104 m and refractive index n = 1.40, find the smallest outside radius R permitted for a bend in the fiber if no light is to escape.
