c) n < 1.2
d) n = root of 2
e) n > the root of 2
f) n < root of 2
g) n = 1.6

i) n < 1.6
j) n = root of 3
k) n > root of 3
l) n < root of 3
m) n = 2.0
n) n > 2.0
o) n < 2.0
Figure P22.59 shows the path of a beam of light through severallayers with different indices of refraction. (a) If Θ1 = 30.0°,what is the angle Θ2 of the emerging beam? (b) What must
the incident angle Θ1 be to have total internal reflection at thesurface between the medium with n = 1.20 and the mediumwith n = 1.00?
A light beam is directed parallel to the axis of a hollow cylindrical tube. When the tube contains only air, it takes the light 8.72 ns to travel the length of the tube, but when the tube is filled with a transparent jelly, it takes the light 2.04 ns longer to travel its length. What is the refractive index of the jelly?
NOTE: The final answer should be 1.23.
