Concept explainers
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. If the experiment is repeated again with sheet 1 on top of sheet 3, what is the expected angle of refraction in sheet 3? Assume the same angle of incidence.

- A ray of light is incident on an air/water interface. The ray makes an angle of theta= 33 degrees with respect to the normal of the surface. The index of the air is n1 = 1 while water is n2 = 1.33. Numerically, what is the angle in degree?arrow_forwardA light ray traveling in air strikes the surface of a slab of glass at an angle of incidence of 50°, Part of the light is reflected and part is refracted.. Find the angle the refracted ray makes with respect to the normal to the airiglass interface. For the toolbar, press ALT+F10 (PC) or ALT+FN+F10 (Mac).

- A ray of light is incident on a glass prism (n = 1.5) with an angle of incidence 0. This ray emerges from the opposite side of the prism with an angle 03 = 22.3°. The apex angle of the prism is = 50° and the deviation angle between the incident ray and the emerging ray is 8 = 32.3°. The angle of refraction at the first surface of the prism, 0,, equals to n =1.5 O 50.2° O 35.3° 60.0° O 14.7°arrow_forwardA ray of light crosses the boundary between some substance with n = 1.61 and air, going from the substance into air. If the angle of incidence is 18◦ what is the angle of refraction? Calculate to 1decimal.arrow_forwardA ray of light is incident on the mid-point of a glass prism surface at an angle of 23.4° with the normal. For the glass, n = 1.60, and the prism apex angle is 51.8°. What is the angle of incidence at the glass-to-air surface on the side opposite where the ray exits the prism?arrow_forward
- (a) The index of refraction for violet light in silica flint glass is 1.66, and that for red light is 1.62. What is the angular spread (in degrees) of visible light passing through a prism of apex angle 60.0° if the angle of incidence is 54.0°? (b) What If? What is the angular spread (in degrees) of visible light passing through a prism of apex angle 60.0° if the angle of incidence is 90°?arrow_forwardThe index of refraction for a certain type of glass is 1.639 for blue light and 1.607 for the red light. A beam of white light (one that contains all colors) enters a plate of glass from the air, nair=1, at an incidence angle of 39.55°. What is the absolute value of 8, the angle in the glass between blue and red parts of the refracted beams?arrow_forward
