You add sugar to the solution, increasing its index of refraction, until the light ray emerges into the sugar-water at point A. The ray that enters at point A travels through the sugar-water, and is incident on the side of the tank at point B. What is the new index of refraction in the sugar water if the ray emerges into the air (at B) at an angle of 27° as shown? 35° glass air A B 27° sugar water You set a 35° right prism made of a lens-quality glass with index of refraction, nglass = 1.66, on top of a thin-walled tank that you filled with solution of sugar and water. (15 points) A ray of blue light with wavelength of 457 nm enters the prism from air and travels through the glass to point A as shown in the figure. Note: Ignore the "thin-walls" of the tank. What is the maximum value of the sugar-water's index of refraction if no light ray refracts into the glass at point A? A air 35° glass sugar water

A good quality camera “lens” is actually a system of lenses, rather than a single lens, but a side effect is that a reflection from the surface of one lens can bounce around many times within the system, creating artifacts in the photograph. To counteract this problem, one of the lenses in such a system is coated with a thin layer of material (n=1.28) on one side. The index of refraction of the lens glass is 1.68. What is the smallest thickness of the coating that reduces the reflection at 640 nm by destructive interference? (In other words, the coating’s effect is to be optimized for =640 nm .)
