- The speed of light in a substance is 82% of its value in water. What is the index of refraction of that substance? 26 2° angle to the vertical Atarrow_forwardAs shown below, light from a vacuum is incident on a shard of Shawtonium (a newly discovered compound). The backside of the shard is up against an unknown material. When the light strikes the backside of the shard, total internal reflection occurs. The light then emerges from the side of the shard and resumes traveling through a vacuum. The index of refraction of Shawtonium is 2.5.

- A ray of light crosses the boundary between some substance with n = 1.54 and air, going from the substance into air. If the angle of incidence is 29◦ what is the angle of refraction? Calculate to 1decimal.arrow_forwardA ray of light is incident on the surface of a block of clear ice at an angle of 33.0° with the normal. Part of the light is reflected and part is refracted. Find the angle between the reflected and refracted light. °arrow_forwardUse the exact values you enter to make later calculations.A ray of light strikes a flat, 2.00-cm-thick block of glass (n = 1.96) at an angle of ? = 32.4° with respect to the normal (see figure below). A light ray incident on a glass block of thickness 2.00 cm is shown. The ray travels down and to the right and is incident to the top of the block at an angle ? to the normal of the surface. The ray inside the block moves down and to the right but at a steeper slope than the incident ray. It is incident on the bottom surface of the block and exits moving down and to the right, in the same direction as the incident ray. A dashed line extends from the original path of the ray down in the block and is shown to be a distance d from the ray that exits the glass block.
