Question
Chapter 18, Problem 83A
To determine
The phenomenon by which the crack in the windshield shines and the diagram for same.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When light passes from optically denser to a medium which is rarer medium that its angle of incidence is more than the critical angle for the medium, it experiences total internal reflection and no refraction takes place.
In a cracked windshield, light travels from the glass to airand when incident angle is more than the critical angle for the medium, it experiences total internal reflection and no refraction takes place. Because of the total internal reflection causes the crack to shine.
Conclusion:
The crack in the windshield shines because of total internal reflection.
