Chapter 24.4, Problem 1aTH
The following are top view diagrams of solid cylinders and cubes. Assume that light travels more slowly through the objects than through the surrounding medium.
Each diagram shows a path for light that is not qualitatively correct; there is at least one flaw, perhaps more, in each diagram. Identify all flaws. Explain your reasoning.

Basically he took two mirrors of equal thickness t and focused a beam as indicated. After passing through a lens, a pattern is formed on a bulkhead ahead. How was the student able to estimate the index of refraction?A) by changing the distance between the mirrors we change the pattern into light and dark bands B) by using the apparatus described there is no way to determine the refractive index of glass C) by changing the distance between the mirrors and the screen (or laser) the pattern changes into light and dark bands D) in the screen we will have an interference pattern similar to a double slit where we have a central maximum and other maximums relating to different reflections of the mirrorarrow_forwardQ1.
