For a certain optical medium the speed of light varies from a low value of 1.80 × 10° m/s for violet light to a high value of 1.92 x 10° m/s for red light. Calculate the range of the index of refraction n of the material for visible light. Nred = Nyiolet A white light is incident on the medium from air, making an angle of 32.0° with the normal. Compare the angles of refraction for violet light and red light. Ored Oviolet Compare the angles of refraction for violet light and red light when the incident angle is 58.0°. Ored Oviolet

An engineer is carrying out an experiment to determine the index of refraction for a partially reflective material. To do this, she aims a narrow beam of light at a sample of this material, which has a smooth surface. She then varies the angle of incidence. (The incident beam is traveling through air.) The light that gets reflected by the sample is completely polarized when the angle of incidence is 59.5°. (a)What index of refraction describes the material? n = (b)If some of the incident light (at ?i = 59.5°) enters the material and travels below the surface, what is the angle of refraction (in degrees)?

A ray of light consisting of blue light (wavelength 480 nm) and red light (wavelength 670 nm) is incident on a thick piece of glass at 80°. What is the angular separation between the refracted red and refracted blue beams while they are in the glass? (The respective indices of refraction for the blue light and the red light are 1.4636 and 1.4561.) O 0.27° 0.33° O 0.36° O 0.46° O 0.54°
