In the figure, light is incident at angle 01= 38° on a
boundary between two transparent materials.
Some of the light travels down through the next
three layers of transparent materials, while some
of it reflects upward and then escapes into the air.

The Michelson interferometer can be used to measure the index of refraction of a gas by placing an evacuated transparent tube in the light path along one arm of the device. Fringe shifts occur as the
gas is slowly added to the tube. Assume 580-nm light is used, the tube is 5.40 cm long, and 152 fringe shifts occur as the pressure of the gas in the tube increases to atmospheric pressure. What is
the index of refraction of the gas? Hint: The fringe shifts occur because the wavelength of the light changes inside the gas-filled tube. (Give your answer to five decimal places.)

(a) A light ray traveling in water is incident upon a transparent medium. The angle of incidence is 45.0°, and the transmitted ray is refracted at an angle of 20.0°. What is the
speed of light in the transparent medium (in m/s)?
m/s
(b) What If? Suppose the speed of light in another transparent medium is exactly half that in vacuum. If light enters this substance from water, what angle of incidence for the
light ray in the water would give the same 20.0° angle of refraction in the medium (in degrees)?
