1. Figure P.4.

11 is a plot of the sine of the angle-of-incidence versus the sine of the transmission angle measured as light passed from air into a more optically dense medium. Discuss the curve. What is the significance of the slope of the line? Guess at what the dense medium might be.

2. Make a plot of i versus t for an air-glass boundary where nga = 1.5. Discuss the shape of the curve. 3. Light of wavelength 600 nm in vacuum enters a block of glass where n, = 1.5 Compute its wavelength in the glass. What color would it appear to someone embedded in the glass? 4. Calculate the critical angle beyond which there is total internal reflection at an air-glass (ng = 1.5) interface. Compare this result with that of Problem 3. 5. A laser beam impinges on an air-liquid interface at an angle of 55o. The refracted ray is observed to be transmitted at 40o. What is the refractive index of the liquid? 6. Prove that to someone looking straight down into a swimming pool, any object in the water will appear to be at of its true depth. 7. A coin is resting on the bottom of a tank of water (nw = 1.33) 1.00 m deep. On top of the water floats a layer of benzene (nb = 1.50). which is 20.0 cm thick. Looking down nearly perpendicularly, how far beneath the topmost surface does the coin appear'? Draw a ray diagram. 8. A ray of yellow light from a sodium discharge lamp falls on the surface of a diamond in air at 45o. If at that frequency nd = 2.42, compute the angular deviation suffered upon transmission.

9. Light is incident in the air on an air-glass interface. If the index of refraction of the glass is 1.70, find the incident angle such that the transmission angle is to equal i ? 10.A laser beam having a diameter D in air strikes a piece of glass ng at an angle i What is the diameter of the beam in the glass? 11.A prism. ABC is configured such that angle BCA = 90o and angle CBA = 45o. What is the minimum value of its index of refraction if, while immersed in air, a beam traversing face AC is to be totally internally reflected from face BC ? 12.In an amusement park a large upright convex spherical mirror is facing a plane mirror 10.0 m away. A girl 1.0 m tall standing midway between the two sees herself twice as tall in the plane mirror as in the spherical one. In other words, the angle subtended at the observer by the image in the plane mirror is twice the angle subtended by the image in the spherical mirror. What is the focal length of the spherical mirror? 13.Suppose you have a concave spherical minor with a focal length of 10 cm. At what distance must an object be placed if its image is to be erect and one and a half times as large? What is the radius of curvature of the mirror? 14.Describe the image that would result for an object 3 inches tall placed 20 cm from a spherical concave shaving mirror having a radius of curvature of -60 cm. 15.Figure P.5.76 shows an arrangement in which the beam is deviated through a constant angle , equal to twice the angle ? between the plane mirrors, regardless of the angle-of-incidence. Prove that this is indeed the case.
