The figure is shown TO SCALE. Each block represents a 1.00 cm square. It shows a ray of light entering a rectangular piece of glass (n₂ = 1.50) from air (n₁ = 1.00). Find the position (x,y in cm) where the ray exits the glass. Or, if it does not exit the glass, find the (x,y) position of the second point (the second reflection) where total internal reflection occurs. In either case, be sure to check if total internal reflection occurs.

Using filters, a physicist has created a beam of light consisting of three wavelengths: 400 nm (violet), 500 nm (green), and 650 nm (red). She aims the beam so that it passes through air and then enters a block of crown glass. The beam enters the glass at an incidence angle of ?1 = 31.5°. The glass block has the following indices of refraction for the respective wavelengths in the light beam. wavelength (nm) 400 500 650 index of refraction n400 nm = 1.53 n500 nm = 1.52 n650 nm = 1.51 (a) Upon entering the glass, are all three wavelengths refracted equally, or is one bent more than the others?

As shown in the figure, a layer of water (n=1.333) covers a slab made of glass (n=1.523) which is on top of another slab of an unknown material X. Suppose a ray of light is traveling upward according to the path indicated by the red arrows in the figure. How should light be incident through the material X so that no light will be refracted through the water (i.e for total internal reflection to occur in the glass medium?)
