A laser beam travels from air (n=1) into glass (n=1.5) and then into gelatin. The incident ray makes a 58.0o angle with the normal in the air before it enters the glass and a 36.4o angle with the normal after it enters the gelatin.
In a neat and organized fashion, write out a solution which includes the following:
A sketch of the physical situation with all given physical quantities clearly labeled.
Draw a ray diagram showing all reflected and refracted rays in this situation and all angles clearly labeled.
Determine (a) the angle the refracted ray makes with the normal in the glass and (b) the index of refraction of the gelatin. Clearly show all steps, starting from generalized equations. Explain your mathematical work in words. Your explanation should cover both what you did and the thought process behind why you did that.
Evaluate your answer to determine whether it is reasonable or not. Consider all aspects of your answer (the numerical value, sign, and units) in your evaluation.…
