Light in air strikes a water surface at the polarizing angle. The part of the beam refracted into the water strikes a submerged slab of material with refractive index n = 1.53 as shown in the figure below. The light reflected from the upper surface of the slab is completely polarized. Find the angle θ between the water surface and the surface of the slab.
A parallel beam of light in air makes an angle of 47.5° with the surface of a glass plate having a refractive index of 1.66. (a) What is the angle between the reflected part of the beam and the surface of the glass? (b) What is the angle between the refracted beam and the surface of the glass? Select one: 47.5°, 66.0° 33.5°, 60.0° 47.5° , 60.0° 30.0° , 44.0° 25.0°, 22.0° 33.5°, 66.0° 25.0°, 44.0°
A block of a transparent solid sits on top of the horizontal surface of a block of glass. A ray of light traveling in the glass is incident on the top surface of the glass at an angle of 62.0 with respect to the normal to the surface. The light has wavelength 447 nm in the glass and 315 nm in the transparent solid. What angle does the ray that refracts into the transparent solid make with the normal to the surface?
