A ray of white light is incident upon a rectangular block of glass with an index of refraction 1.516 for the red end of the spectrum and 1.534 for the violet end. Itstrikes the interface boundary between the air and glass at an angle of 64.7 degrees. Dispersion takes place and the light proceeds to travel through the glass untilreaching the opposite side. What is the thickness of the glass block if the spatial separation of the red and violet end of the spectrum is 0.011 m at the exitboundary? Round your answer to 2 decimal places

To save money on making military aircraft invisible to radar, an inventor decides to coat them with a nonreflective material having an index of refraction of 1.20, which is between that of air and the surface of the plane. This, he reasons, should be much cheaper than designing Stealth bombers. (a) What thickness should the coating be to inhibit the reflection of 4.00-cm wavelength radar? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?

When light is incident normally on the interface between two transparent optical media, the intensity of the reflected light is given by the expression S1=(n2n1n2+n1)2S1 In this equation, S1 represents the average magnitude of the Poynting vector in the incident light (the incident intensity), S1 is the reflected intensity, and n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the two media. (a) What fraction of the incident intensity is reflected for 589-nm light normally incident on an interface between air and crown glass? (b) Does it matter in part (a) whether the light is in the air or in the glass as it strikes the interface?
A ray of white light is incident upon a rectangular block of glass with an index of refraction 1.519 for the red end of the spectrum and 1.538 for the violet end. It strikes the interface boundary between the air and glass at an angle of 54.5 degrees. Dispersion takes place and the light proceeds to travel through the glass until reaching the opposite side. What is the thickness of the glass block if the spatial separation of the red and violet ends of the spectrum is 0.028 m at the exit boundary? Answer in meters to 2 decimal places.
A ray of white light traveling through air enters a block of glass that has an index of refraction of 1.44 for the red end of the spectrum and 1.46 for the violet end.
