In the figure, a light ray in air is incident on a flat layer of material 2 that has an index of refraction n2 = 2.8. Beneath material 2 is material 3 with an index of refraction n3. The ray is incident on the air–material 2 interface at the Brewster angle for that interface. The ray of light refracted into material 3 happens to be incident on the material 2–material 3 interface at the Brewster angle for that interface. What is the value of n3

In the figure, light is incident at angle θ1 = 37˚ on a boundary between two transparent materials. Some of the light travels down through the next three layers of transparent materials, while some of it reflects upward and then escapes into the air. If n1 = 1.26, n2 = 1.42, n3 = 1.32 and n4 = 1.45, what is the value of (a) θ5 and (b) θ4?

Consider a layer of Oil, Glass, and Air where the oil/glass boundary is parallel to the glass/air boundary. Let the index of refraction for the glass be 1.48 and the index of refraction for the oil to be 1.25. At what angle relative to the normal should a ray of light be directed upon the oil/glass interface such that it strikes the glass/air interface at the critical angle?

A ray of light is incident on an air/water interface. The ray makes an angle of θ1 = 29 degrees with respect to the normal of the surface. The index of the air is n1 = 1 while water is n2 = 1.33. Write an expression for the reflection angle ψ, with respect to the surface.

Three sheets of plastic have unknown indices of refraction.Sheet 1 is placed on top of sheet 2, and a laser beam is directed unto the sheets from above so that it strikes the interface at an angle of 26.5 degrees with the normal. The refracted beam in sheet 2 makes an angle of 31.7 degrees with the normal. The experiment is repeated with sheet 3 on top of sheet 2, and with the same angle of incidence, the refracted beam makes an angle of 36.7 degrees with the normal. If the experiment is repeated again with sheet 1 on top of sheet 3, determine the expected angle of refraction in sheet 3?. Assume the same angle of incidence.

A beam of light is incident from the air on a transparent substance at an angle of 56 with respect to the normal, part of the beam is reflected and the other is refracted. It is observed that the reflected and refracted beams are mutually perpendicular. What is the refractive incidence of the transparent substance? What can you say about the reflected beam? Since you know both indices of refraction, suppose a light beam is incident from the medium with the higher index of refraction to the medium with the lower index of refraction. What is the critical angle to achieve total internal reflection?

In the figure, light is incident at angle 8₁ = 39° on a boundary between two transparent materials. Some of the light travels down through the next three layers of transparent materials, while some of it reflects upward and then escapes into the air.
