- Consider a light ray that enters a pane of glass with air on one side and water on the other side as shown in Figure P38.21. The light ray experiences refraction at the first interface when it enters the glass from the water and again at the second interface when it exits the glass into the air. Assume the index of refraction of the glass is 1.54. For a ray of light, find the angle of incidence 1 in the water such that the ray experiences total internal reflection when it strikes the glassair interface on the other side. FIGURE P38.21arrow_forwardLight is incident on a prism as shown in Figure P38.31. The prism, an equilateral triangle, is made of plastic with an index of refraction of 1.46 for red light and 1.49 for blue light. Assume the apex angle of the prism is 60.00. a. Sketch the approximate paths of the rays for red and blue light as they travel through and then exit the prism. b. Determine the measure of dispersion, the angle between the red and blue rays that exit the prism. Figure P38.31arrow_forwardCurved glassair interfaces like those observed in an empty shot glass make it possible for total internal reflection to occur at the shot glasss internal surface. Consider a glass cylinder (n = 1.54) with an outer radius of 2.50 cm and an inner radius of 2.00 cm as shown in Figure P38.105. Find the minimum angle i such that there is total internal reflection at the inner surface of the shot glass. FIGURE P38.105 Problems 105 and 106.arrow_forward
- A light ray is incident on an interface between water (n = 1.333) and air (n = 1.0002926) from within the air. If the angle of incidence in the air is 30.0, what is the angle of the refracted ray in the water?arrow_forwardLight traveling in a medium of index of refraction n1 is incident on another medium having an index of refraction n2. Under which of the following conditions can total internal reflection occur at the interface of the two media? (a) The indices of refraction have the relation n2 n1. (b) The indices of refraction have the relation n1 n2. (c) Light travels slower in the second medium than in the first. (d) The angle of incidence is less than the critical angle. (e) The angle of incidence must equal the angle of refraction.arrow_forwardA person looking into an empty container is able to see the far edge of the containers bottom, as shown in Figure P22.23a. The height of the container is h, and its width is d. When the container is completely filled with a fluid of index of refraction n and viewed from the same angle, the person can see the center of a coin at the middle of the containers bottom, as shown in Figure P22.23b. (a) Show that the ratio h/d is given by hd=n214n2 (b) Assuming the container has a width of 8.00 cm and is filled with water, use the expression above to find the height of the container.arrow_forward
