- Building contractors often install double-glazed windows to prevent thermal energy (heat) from entering or exiting a building. In addition to being effective insulators, such windows present interesting optical effects. glass In the figure, a double-glazed window consists of two identical panes of glass (ng = 1.46), each yg = 12.0 mm air thick, separated by an air gap of y, = 9.60 mm. If light incident on the glass makes an angle of o = 40.00° with respect to the glass, find the shift in path Ax as the light glass enters the room. Use na = 1.00 for the index of refraction of air.

(6 points) A predatory Angler Fish has evolved bioluminescence, so that it can make its own light that it uses like a flashlight to help see its prey. A species of jellyfish lives in deep ocean water (so that the only light that reaches it is the light produced by the angler fish). The index of refraction of water is 1.333. The body of the jellyfish is mostly water surrounded by a "thin film" of transparent cells with an index of refraction ncells = 1.19. If the body of the jellyfish is 0.5 μm thick, what color of light should the fish produce to be able to see the jellyfish? water water cells 2(1.50) (0.5X105 m) = (m+11) ~arrow_forward
