A ray of light is incident through glass, with refractive index 1.52, on an interface separating glass and water with refractive index 1.32. What is the angle of refraction if the angle of incidence of the ray in glass is 25 °?
A ray of light strikes the midpoint of one face of an equiangular (60°–60°–60°) glass prism (n = 1.5) at an angle of incidence of 40.8°.
(a) Trace the path of the light ray through the glass, and find the angles of incidence and refraction at each surface.First surface:
θincidence
= °
θrefraction
= °
Second surface:
θincidence

θrefraction
= °
(b) If a small fraction of light is also reflected at each surface, find the angles of reflection at the surfaces.
θreflection
= ° (first surface)
θreflection
= ° (second surface)
At what angle should a ray of light be incident on the face of a prism of refracting angle 60° so that it just suffers total internal reflection at the other face? The refractive index of the material of the prism is 1.524
