Chapter 34, Problem 135P
A narrow beam of parallel light rays is incident on a glass sphere from the left, directed toward the center of the sphere. (The sphere is a lens but certainly not a thin lens.) Approximate the angle of incidence of the rays as 0°, and assume that the index of refraction of the glass is n < 2.0. (a) In terms of n and the sphere radius r, what is the distance between the image produced by the sphere and the right side of the sphere? (b) Is the image to the left or right of that side? (Hint: Apply Eq. 34-8 to locate the image that is produced by refraction at the left side of the sphere; then use that image as the object for refraction at the right side of the sphere to locate the final image. In the second refraction, is the object distance p positive or negative?)

A ray of light strikes a flat block of glass at an incidence angle of
?1 = 38.6°. The glass is 2.00 cm thick and has an index of refraction that equals ng = 1.52.
(a) What is the angle of refraction, ?2,that describes the light ray after it enters the glass from above? (Enter your answer in degrees to at least 2 decimal places.)
b.)With what angle of incidence, ?3,does the ray approach the interface at the bottom of the glass? (Enter your answer in degrees to at least 2 decimal places.)
=
O For refraction across an air-glass interface where ng 1.63, make a plot of the
refracted angle as a function of the incident angle, with 0; = 0 to 90°.
When a light ray crosses from water into glass, it emerges at an angle of 30° with respect to the normal of the interface. What is its angle of incidence?
I used Snell's Law to find the angle of incidence as 34.8 degrees (rounded to 3 sig fig), using index of refraction for water as 1.333 and for glass as 1.52.
However, the answer was marked as wrong. Could you please explain steps for solving to get theta as approximately 42 degrees?

In the experiment, you will explore the behavior of the fiber as a function of the angle of incidence a. When a ray strikes the end of the fiber it is bent toward the normal. By Snell's law, the angle inside the core is sin core = (no/n₁) sin a. Once inside the core, the ray travels until it strikes the cladding of the fiber. The angle of incidence at the cladding i is the complementary angle of core. If i is a small angle, the ray will propagate into the cladding and be lost from the fiber. If i is large, however, the ray will be internally reflected and bounce down the fiber. By Snell's law, the critical angle for the ray to be internally reflected is sin icrit = n₂/n₁.
