The drawing shows a horizontal ray of white light incident perpendicularly on the vertical face of a prism made of crown glass. The ray enters the prism, and part of the light undergoes refraction at the slanted face and emerges into the surrounding material. The rest of the light is totally internally reflected and exits through the horizontal base of the prism. The colors of light that emerge from the slanted face of the prism may be chosen by altering the index of refraction of the material surrounding the prism. Find the required index of refraction of the surrounding material so that (a) only red light and (b) all colors except violet emerge from the slanted face of the prism. Take n = 1.520 for crown glass for red light, and n = 1.538 for crown glass for violet light. (a) Number i (b) Number i Units Units 45.00⁰ 90.00⁰

A ray of light is directed from water (n=1.33) into a dense glass equilateral prism which has an index of refraction of (1.73x10^0) . The ray enters surface 1 at an angle θ1, the ray then encounters Surface 2 from within the prism.

A block of glass has an index of refraction equal to n_g=1.68. The glass is surrounded by oil which has an index of refraction of n_o=1.28. What is the largest incident angle (deg) possible in the glass before the ray undergoes total internal reflection?
The figure shows an optical fiber in which a central plastic core of index of refraction n1 = 1.60 is surrounded by a plastic sheath of index of refraction n2 = 1.52. Light can travel along different paths within the central core, leading to different travel times through the fiber. This causes an initially short pulse of light to spread as it travels along the fiber, resulting in information loss. Consider light that travels directly along the central axis of the fiber and light that is repeatedly reflected at the critical angle along the core-sheath interface, reflecting from side to side as it travels down the central core. If the fiber length is 370 m, what is the difference in the travel times along these two routes? NUmber i 99 Units ns

Air has an index of refraction of 1.00. Water has an index of refraction of 1.33. Consider a pool of water that is perfectly calm and 3.21 meters deep. A ray of light (or a laser beam, if you like) enters the water, refracts, and ultimately hits the bottom of the pool. Find the distance between the point where the light enters the water and the point where the light hits the bottom of the pool if the angle between the ray in air and the surface of the pool is 46.4 degrees. Answer in meters.
