- Suppose the figure below represents a ray of light going from air through crown glass into water, such as going into a fish tank. Calculate the amount the ray is displaced by the glass (Δx), given that the incident angle is 47∘ and the glass is 0.9 cm thick. The refractive index of glass is 1.52.arrow_forwardState the approximate value of the critical angle for (a) glass- air surface (b) water- air surface.arrow_forwardjknarrow_forward
- Use Snell's law to find the angle that a beam of light makes with the normal to a class surface, entering from air with angle 44 in degrees, after it refracts and is traveling inside the glass. Assume the index of refraction is 1.5arrow_forward(a) An opaque cylindrical tank with an open top has a diameter of 2.60 m and is completely filled with water. When the afternoon sun reaches an angle of 31.5° above the horizon, sunlight ceases to illuminate any part of the bottom of the tank. How deep is the tank (in m)? 4 Determine how the depth of the tank is related to the angle of refraction for the geometry described in the question. Drawing a diagram may be helpful. Then apply Snell's law to find the angle of refraction and use it to determine the depth of the water in the tank. m (b) What If? On winter solstice in Seattle, the sun reaches a maximum altitude of 19° above the horizon. What would the depth of the tank have to be (in m) for the sun not to illuminate the bottom of the tank on that day? marrow_forwardA very large piece of clear ice has a cave man frozen inside it.
