When a light ray travels from air into glass, which of the following statements is accurate after the light enters the glass? a. The ray bends away from the normal, and the speed decreases. b. The ray bends away from the normal, and the speed increases. c. The ray bends toward the normal, and the speed increases. d. The ray bends toward the normal, and the speed decreases.

A ray of light strikes the midpoint of one face of an equiangular (60°–60°–60°) glass prism (n = 1.5) at an angle of incidence of 40.8°. (a) Trace the path of the light ray through the glass, and find the angles of incidence and refraction at each surface.First surface: θincidence = ° θrefraction = ° Second surface: θincidence = ° θrefraction = ° (b) If a small fraction of light is also reflected at each surface, find the angles of reflection at the surfaces. θreflection = ° (first surface) θreflection = ° (second surface)

A light ray travels from air (n=1.00) into a crown glass (n=1.52) with an angle of incidence of 49 degrees. The light ray continues to travel through the crown glass material into the diamond (n=2.42). At what angle does the light ray make with the normal line as it enters the diamond? a.) 12 deg b,) 30 deg c.) 48 deg d.) 18 deg
