Recall the situation from tutorial, in which light of frequency
The cross−sectional side view diagram at right extends the ray diagram that you drew in tutorial. It shows the incident ray and several sets of rays resulting from transmission and reflection at the first (left) and second (right) boundaries. The ray that results from the second reflection from the second (right) boundary is not shown.
For the remainder of this problem, assume that the light is incident from the left side of the film at essentially normal incidence.

b. Recall from section III of the tutorial the pattern that is observed from the
left side of the film.
How, if at all, would the pattern seen from the right side of the film be different from the pattern seen from the left side of the film? Use your results from part a above to help justify your answer.

- For the next two questions, as seen in the image below, two materials A (na = 1.25) and B ( 1.75) are stacked (ray angles for illustration only). A B 1. Monochromatic light hits A at an angle theta, -30° from the normal. What is the angle of refraction of light that gets to come out from B? A. None (total internal reflection occurs at B) B. 60° C. 30° D. 15° 2. Suppose we want to induce the total internal reflection of light in this system by changing either material A, B or adding another material below material B. Which of the following changes would induce total internal reflection? A. Adding a layer of material A below material B. B. Replacing material A with material B. C. Removing material B. D. None of the above.arrow_forwardA beam of light traveling through air is incident up a transparent material at an angle of 0;=78.02 degrees as shown in the image below. If the angle of the transmitted ray (0t) as measured with respect to the direction normal to the surface of the material (dashed line in the image below) is 32.46 degrees, what is the index of refraction of of the material? Normal Reflected Incident ray ray Transmitted ray Note: Do not explicitly include units in your answer (the index of refraction is a dimensionless quantity, anyway). Enter only a number. If you do enter a unit, your answer will be counted wrong.arrow_forwardUnpolarized light is sent through a system of polarizers. The initial system is made up of two fixed polarizers at 90° shown in the figure. Is it possible to add one more polarizer and increase the intensity of light exiting the system? If not explain why not. If so, explain where you would put the additional polarizer and what would be the best anglearrow_forward
- The diagram below shows a person sitting in a chair while looking at a white sheet of paper that she is holding in her hand. There is a black barrier blocking light from the lamp from directly going to the book. The ceiling is a large white, non-shiny surface. A student drew the following light ray diagram to try to show how the light behaves at the different surfaces and how the person sees the book. Is this light ray diagram correctly drawn? If not, what is wrong with it?arrow_forwardAll answers require full explanations in complete sentences. The figure below shows a spherical bubble of CO2 gas in a liquid. The index of refraction of the liquid is 1.5 times larger than that of the gas. A light ray in the liquid is incident on the bubble as shown. The black dot identifies the center of the bubble. Draw, precisely, a reasonable ray transmitted into the bubble and explain how you why it looks as you have drawn it. determinedarrow_forwardProblem #4 The luminous flux on a table is 400 Lumens.

The path of the light ray through the block is shown. Determine the index of refraction of the unknown material. Preform two calculations - one for each boundary - using Snell's law and the measured angles.arrow_forward
- Suppose that waves travel 1.5x as fast within the triangular object than in the surrounding medium. Continue the incident ray until it emerges through the triangular medium on the other side. Please draw the surface normal, the weak reflection, as well as the "would have" line for each interface as shown in class. and label all angles.

Extend the 9 incident rays to the lens, and draw the transmitted rays in the correct direction. Use the figure, DO NOT substitute it with any other figure. Use the line to trace the 9 rays. Don't forget to place the arrow on each transmitted beam. Label each ray with its corresponding name: parallel ray, central ray, and focal ray.
