A beam of light enters from air into a stab of glass (nglass = 1.5) along a Surface tilted at a 45° angle from the horizontal, - What is the angle? 450

Electric room heaters use a concave mirror to reflect infrared (IR) radiation from hot coils. Note that IR radiation follows the same law of reflection as visible light. Given that the mirror has a radius of curvature of 50.0 cm and produces an image of the coils 3.00 m away from the mirror, where are the coils?

Check Your Understanding Table 1.1 shows that ethanol and fresh water have very similar indices of refraction. By what percentage do the speeds of light in these liquids differ?

A ray of light, emitted beneath the surface of an unknown liquid with air above it, undergoes total internal reflection as shown in Figure 25.55. What is the index of retraction for the liquid and its likely identification? Figure 25.55 A tight ray inside a liquid strikes the surface at the critical angle and undergoes total internal reflection.
