Group of answer choices 1.96 1.44 1.56 1.78arrow_forwardA ray of light crosses the boundary between some substance with n = 1.54 and air, going from the substance into air. If the angle of incidence is 29◦ what is the angle of refraction? Calculate to 1decimal.arrow_forwardSuppose you have an unknown clear substance immersed in water, and you wish to identify it by finding its index of refraction. You arrange to have a beam of light enter it at an angle of 45.0° with respect to the normal, and you observe the angle of refraction to be 40.3°. A. What is the index of refraction of the substance?

Of αarrow_forwardWhite light strikes the left face of a 300-60°-90° glass prism along a normal to the surface (so there is no refraction there). The light moves horizontally through the prism and strikes the right face at an angle of 30.00° to the normal. As the light leaves the prism it is refracted at the right face.

This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error.ºarrow_forwardUse the exact values you enter to make later calculations.A ray of light strikes a flat, 2.00-cm-thick block of glass (n = 1.96) at an angle of ? = 32.4° with respect to the normal (see figure below). A light ray incident on a glass block of thickness 2.00 cm is shown. The ray travels down and to the right and is incident to the top of the block at an angle ? to the normal of the surface. The ray inside the block moves down and to the right but at a steeper slope than the incident ray. It is incident on the bottom surface of the block and exits moving down and to the right, in the same direction as the incident ray.
