A ray of 610-nm light goes from air into fused quartz at an incident angle of 55.0° . At what incident angle must 470 nm light enter flint glass to have the same angle of refraction?
A light beam strikes a piece of glass with an incident angle of 45.00°. The beam contains two colors: 450.0 nm and an unknown
wavelength. The index of refraction for the 450.0-nm light is 1.482. Assume the glass is surrounded by air, which has an index of
refraction of 1.000.
Determine the index of refraction n, for the unknown
wavelength if its refraction angle is 0.6950° greater than that
of the 450.0 nm light.
A ray of light travelling in glass having a refractive index nlass= 1.5, is incident at an angle 0
on the glass-air interface. If a thin layer of liquid (niquid = 1.23) is poured on the glass air
interface, then at what angle would the ray emerge from the liquid-air interface?
