A light ray is incident at an angle x on the top surface of a block of plastic with n = 1.49.
Find the maximum value of x for which the refracted ray undergoes total internal reflection at point P at the left vertical interface of the block.
Assume the block is immersed in water (nWATER = 1.33 ).
Figure P22.59 shows the path of a beam of light through severallayers with different indices of refraction. (a) If Θ1 = 30.0°,what is the angle Θ2 of the emerging beam? (b) What must
the incident angle Θ1 be to have total internal reflection at thesurface between the medium with n = 1.20 and the mediumwith n = 1.00?

- How many times will the incident beam in Figure P34.33 (page 922) be reflected by each of the parallel mirrors? Figure P34.33arrow_forwardFigure P23.28 shows a curved surface separating a material with index of refraction n1 from a material with index n2. The surface forms an image I of object O. The ray shown in red passes through the surface along a radial line. Its angles of incidence and refraction are both zero, so its direction does not change at the surface. For the ray shown in blue, the direction changes according to n1 sin 1 = n2 sin 2. For paraxial rays, we assume 1 and 2 are small, so we may write n1 tan 1 n2 tan 2. The magnification is defined as M = h/h. Prove that the magnification is given by M = n1q/n2p. Figure P23.28arrow_forwardLight is incident on a prism as shown in Figure P38.31. The prism, an equilateral triangle, is made of plastic with an index of refraction of 1.46 for red light and 1.49 for blue light. Assume the apex angle of the prism is 60.00. a. Sketch the approximate paths of the rays for red and blue light as they travel through and then exit the prism. b. Determine the measure of dispersion, the angle between the red and blue rays that exit the prism. Figure P38.31arrow_forward
