- A beam of light containing red (660 nm) and violet (410 nm) wavelengths travels from air, through a flat piece of crown glass 2.36 cm thick, and then back to air. (a) If the beam has an angle of incidence of 22.6° in air, determine the angle at which the two colors of light emerge from the crown glass. The index of refraction respectively for red and violet light in crown glass is 1.512 and 1.530.

- Light is incident on water(n=1.33) from air (n=1.001) at an angle of 34°. What is the angle of refraction?arrow_forwardThe index of refraction for material 1 is 1.36; for material 2 it is 1.66. Light travels 1.5 m in the first material before hitting the second material, where it travels another 1.5 m. What is the total time taken for the light to travel the total distance? Speed of light c = 2.998 x 108 m/s Total time in the two materials = = 1.51 S Reflect on the order of magntitude of this time. Is this a perceptible time delay? ! No, that's not the correct answer.arrow_forwardA light beam traveling in air with a wavelenght of 600 nm enters a glass block.

- X rays are typically used to kill off cancer cells, however an issue some radiologists run into is the damage an x-ray may do to surrounding tissue. Because of this, accuracy plays a key role in radiation therapy. Suppose you are a medical physicist, and you have been given the task of choosing a medium with a proper index of refraction to bend the x rays such that they only hit the tumor. Suppose you know that the x ray comes in at an angle of 20 degrees with respect to the normal of your second medium. You know the tumor expands out to 5 degrees on either side of the normal what is the minimum index of refraction needed for the x ray to hit the tumorarrow_forwardA 3.87 m long pole stands vertically in a lake having a depth of 2.07 m.
