Chapter 33, Problem 33.63PP

Next unpolarized light is reflected off a smooth horizontal piece of glass, and the reflected light shines on the insect. Which statement is true about the two types of cells? (a) When the light is directly above the glass, only type V detects the reflected light. (b) When the light is directly above the glass, only type H detects the reflected light. (c) When the light is about 35° above the horizontal, type V responds much more strongly than type H does. (d) When the light is about 35° above the horizontal, type H responds much more strongly than type V does.

Next, unpolarized light is reflected off a smooth horizontal piece of glass, and the reflected light shines on the insect. Which statement is true about the two types of cells? (a) When the light is directly above the glass, only type V detects the reflected light. (b) When the light is directly above the glass, only type H detects the reflected light. (c) When the light is about 35° above the horizontal, type V responds much more strongly than type H does. (d) When the light is about 35° above the horizontal, type H responds much more strongly than type V does.
Unpolarized light is passed through an optical filter that is oriented in the vertical direction. 1)If the incident intensity of the light is 86 W/m^2, what is the intensity of the light that emerges from the filter? (Express your answer to two significant figures.)
A narrow beam of light is incident on one surface of a plane parallel plate of glass. The index of which is 1.62 and has a thickness of 5 cm at an angle of 45 degrees to the normal, trace the path of light through the plate. What will be the direction of the emergent light if the second surface of the glass is immersed in an oil with an index of 1.49Answer:Air to Glass: 25 degrees 52'Glass to Oil: 28 degrees 19'Oil to Air: 44 degrees 58'Above are the answers to the question. Please show the solution how the answers are derived.
