Sound passes from limestone, where it moves at a speedof 4000 m/s, into another unknown material. The angle of incidence at the interface is 24° and the angle of refraction in the unknown material is 38°. (a) Calculate the speed of sound in this material. (b) Draw pictures of each situation showing the interference between the media, the normal line, the incident, reflected and refracted rays and the angles of these rays to the normal line.
No glass is perfectly transparent. Mainly because of reflections, about 92% of light passes through an average sheet of clear windowpane. The 8% loss is not noticed through a single sheet, but through several sheets, the loss is apparent. How much light is transmitted by a double-paned window (one with two sheets of glass)?
You may have noticed that the eyes of cats appear to glow green in low light. This effect is due to the reflection of light by the tapetum lucidum, a highly reflective membrane just behind the retina of the eye. Light that has passed through the retina without hitting photoreceptors is reflected back to the retina, thus enabling the animal to see much better than humans in low light.
Suppose the eye of a cat is 1.34 cm in diameter. Assume that the light enters the eye traveling parallel to the principal axis of the lens.
If some of the light reflected off the tapetum lucidum escapes being absorbed by the retina, what is the horizontal distance ?from the retina to the point where the light will be focused? Neglect any effects due to the liquid in the eye.
x = ? cm
The refractive index of the liquid in the eye is about 1.4. How does this affect the location of the image relative to where it would be if the eye were filled with air?

- Assume the indices of refraction for air, water, and glass are 1.00, 1.33, and 1.50, respectively. When illuminated from above, a ray reflected from the air-water interface undergoes a phase shift of φ 1 = π, and a ray reflected at the water-glass interface also undergoes a phase shift of π. Thus, the two rays are unshifted in phase relative to each other due to reflection. For constructive interference, the path difference 2t must equal an integer number (m) of wavelengths in water. a. Derive the equation in terms of λ based on the situation above. b. If this m-value is an integer the wavelength undergoes constructive interference upon reflection in terms of λ, compute for the wavelengths for the following thickness: t= 2 x 10 5 m at m 700 nm and m 400 nmarrow_forwardIs it possible for light traveling within a diamond to undergo total internal reflection at the diamond-air interface?
