Read the following problem and solve the following questions. Show your complete solutions legibly and concisely in the space provided.
A light is traveling from air into an optic fiber having an index of refraction of 1.44.
a. Which direction should the light bend?
b. Given a 22 degree angle of incidence on the end of the fiber, what is the angle of refraction inside the fiber?
c. Make a sketch of the path of life as the media changes.
A plane wave hits a piece of glass whose front surface is spherical and whose back surface is plane. The radius of the lens is 10 cm and the thickness of the glass is 1 cm at the center, as shown in the diagram at right. At time t1, the center of the plane wavefront has just reached the lens. A short time later, at time t2, the center of the wavefront will have passed completely through the glass, as shown.
a) Find the time that elapses between t1 and t2, the time it takes the center of the wavefront to pass thorugh the middle 1 cm of the glass.
b) Find the amount by which the edges of the wavefront at t2 will be ahead of the cetner of the wavefront, due to the fact that these edges passed through empty space, with no glass in their paths.

- Hi! Please read everything first before answering. Read carefully as well because you might be confused.I asked this question already here in Bartleby but I have not received the exact answer The question is:Unpolarized light with intensity I₀ is incident on two polarizers as sketched in Figure B. Suppose the angle between the axes of the two polarizers is θ = 60°. What is the intensity of the transmitted light? EXPRESS YOUR ANSWER AS A FRACTION OF I₀. And I got the answer 0.125 I₀. The question says THE ANSWER SHOULD BE EXPRESSED AS A FRACTION OF I₀. The answer I got is decimal and i don't know how i will turn it to fraction. I am not sure if converting it to fraction is correct so I am seeking for your help. Please help me. What I just need is TO EXPRESS MY ANSWER AS A FRACTION OF I₀. Thank you!arrow_forwardI need a proper solution for the following ( understandable writing and well explained ) How are reflection and refraction similar and different? and how does a prism affect white light?

- A thin beam of white light is directed at a flat sheet of silicate flint glass at an angle of 20° to the surface of the sheet. Due to dispersion in the glass, the beam is spread out in a spectrum as shown in the figure. The refractive index of silicate flint glass versus wavelength is graphed in figure to the right. (a) The rays (A and B) shown in the figure correspond to the extreme wavelengths. Which corresponds to red and which to violet? Explain your reasoning.
