The leftmost block in Fig. 33-33 depicts total internal reflection for light inside a material with an index of refraction n1 when air is outside the material. A light ray reaching point A from anywhere within the shaded region at the left (such as the ray shown) fully reflects at that point and ends up in the shaded region at the right. The other blocks show similar situations for two other materials. Rank the indexes of refraction of the three materials, greatest first.

Figure 33-63 Problem 67.arrow_forward*66 o In Fig. 33-62, a light ray in air is incident at angle 6, on a block of transparent plastic with an index of refraction of 1.56. The dimen- sions indicated are H= 2.00 cm and W = 3.00 cm. The light passes through the block to one of its sides and there undergoes reflection (in- side the block) and possibly refraction (out into the air). This is the point of first reflection. The re- flected light then passes through the block to another of its sides-a point of second reflection. If 6 = 40°, on which side is the point of (a) first reflection and (b) second reflection? If there is refraction at the point of (c) first reflection and (d) second reflection, give the angle of refraction; if not, answer "none." If 61 = 70°, on which side is the point of (e) first reflection and (f) second reflection? If there is refrac- tion at the point of (g) first reflection and (h) second reflection, give the angle of refraction; if not, answer “none." н Figure 33-62 Problem 66.arrow_forward
