Recall the situation from tutorial, in which light of frequency
The cross−sectional side view diagram at right extends the ray diagram that you drew in tutorial. It shows the incident ray and several sets of rays resulting from transmission and reflection at the first (left) and second (right) boundaries. The ray that results from the second reflection from the second (right) boundary is not shown.
For the remainder of this problem, assume that the light is incident from the left side of the film at essentially normal incidence.

b. Recall from section III of the tutorial the pattern that is observed from the
left side of the film.
How, if at all, would the pattern seen from the right side of the film be different from the pattern seen from the left side of the film? Use your results from part a above to help justify your answer.

Given the pattern of light on the far side of the prism, is the index of refraction inside the prism higher or lower than the index of refraction outside the prism? b. List at least one thing that is wrong with this diagram given what we expect the dependence of n on the wavelength of light to be (and assuming the prism is made of a uniform material). c. List at least one thing that is right with this diagram given what we expect the dependence of n on the wavelength of light to be (and assuming the prism is made of a uniform material).arrow_forwardPicture down belowarrow_forwardA beam of light traveling through air is incident up a transparent material at an angle of 0;=78.02 degrees as shown in the image below.

Suppose we want to induce the total internal reflection of light in this system by changing either material A, B or adding another material below material B. Which of the following changes would induce total internal reflection? A. Adding a layer of material A below material B. B. Replacing material A with material B. C. Removing material B. D. None of the above.arrow_forwardThe diagram on the right shows a light ray entering a rectangular block of unknown material and subsequently exiting the block on the opposite side. The path of the light ray through the block is shown. Determine the index of refraction of the unknown material. Preform two calculations - one for each boundary - using Snell's law and the measured angles.arrow_forward
- Case 1: Object distance d0= infinity. The figure below shows light rays coming from an object located at infinity, in front of a convex lens. Extend the 9 incident rays to the lens, and draw the transmitted rays in the correct direction. Use the figure, DO NOT substitute it with any other figure. Use the line to trace the 9 rays. Don't forget to place the arrow on each transmitted beam. Label each ray with its corresponding name: parallel ray, central ray, and focal ray.

The two points are, respectively, at perpendicular distances a and b from the interface. The displacement from P to Q has the component d parallel to the interface, and we let x represent the coordinate of the point where the ray enters the second medium. Let t = 0 be the instant the light starts from P.a) Show that the time at which the light arrives at Q is: b) To obtain the value of x for which t has its minimum value, differentiate t with respect to x and set the derivative equal to zero.

Part A Viewed from directly above the coin, how far below the surface of the water does the coin appear to be?
