Try this simple experiment on your own. Take two opaquecups, place a coin at the bottom of each cup near the edge,and fill one cup with water. Next, view the cups at some anglefrom the side so that the coin in water is just visible as shownon the left in Figure CQ22.12. Notice that the coin in air is notvisible as shown on the right in Figure CQ22.12. Explain thisobservation.
Optical fibers are a central part of technology for rapid information transmission with a high
level of efficiency. A new type of optical fiber is crafted with an index of refraction n =
less than that of water in the vicinity of room temperature, where NH2O
fact that n < nH20 potentially problematic if the fiber should be submerged?
1.25
= 1.33. Why is the
O A. Total internal reflection would be frustrated, allowing loss of signal.
O B. Internal reflection would actually be enhanced, so there is no problem.
C. Electric eels might have free internet access.
Figure P22.26 shows a lightray incident on a seriesof slabs having differentrefractive indices, wheren 1 < n 2 < n 3 < n 4. Noticethat the path of the raysteadily bends toward thenormal. If the variationin n were continuous, thepath would form a smoothcurve. Use this idea and a ray diagram to explain why you cansee the Sun at sunset after it has fallen below the horizon.
