Chapter 32, Problem 48P

(II) Show in general that for a light beam incident on a uniform layer of transparent material, as in Fig. 32–24, the direction of the emerging beam is parallel to the incident beam, independent of the incident angle θ. Assume the air on the two sides of the transparent material is the same.

10. A light ray of given wavelength, initially in air, strikes a 90° prism at P (see Fig. 39-53) and is refracted there and at Q to such an extent that it just grazes the right-hand prism surface at Q. (a) Determine the index of retraction of the prism for this wavelength in terms of the angle of incidence , that gives rise to this situation. (b) Give a numerical upper bound for the index of refraction of the prism. Show, by ray dia- grams, what happens if the angle of incidence at P is (c) slightly greater or (d) slightly less than 0₁. 90 FIGURE 39-53. Problem 10.
-55 O SSM In Fig. 33-55, a 2.00- m-long vertical pole extends from the bottom of a swimming pool to a point 50.0 cm above the water. Sunlight is incident at angle e= Blocked sunrays 55.0°. What is the length of the shadow of the pole on the level bot- tom of the pool?
109 In Fig. 34-54, a fish watcher at point P watches a fish through a glass wall of a fish tank. The watcher is level with the fish; the index of re- fraction of the glass is 8/5, and that Watcher of the water is 4/3. The distances are di = 8.0 cm, dz = 3.0 cm, and dz = 6.8 cm. (a) To the fish, how far away does the watcher appear to be? (Hint: The watcher is the object. Light from that object passes through the wall's outside surface, which acts as a refracting sur- face. Find the image produced by that surface. Then treat that im- age as an object whose light passes through the wall's inside sur- face, which acts as another refracting surface.) (b) To the watcher, how far away does the fish appear to be? de D Wall Figure 34-54 Problem 109.
