(answered A first and was wrong)
The refractive index of material A is greater than the refractive index of material B. Make...
Total internal reflection happens Select one: a. When light in a high refractive index material meets a boundary with a lower refractive index at an angle bigger than the critical angle. b. When light in a low refractive index material meets a boundary with a higher refractive index at an angle bigger than the critical angle. c. When light in a high refractive index material meets a boundary with a lower refractive index at an angle smaller than the critical...
Light travels from material #1 with refractive index n1 and incidence angle θ1 into material #2 with refractive index n2 and refraction angle θ2. Choose the correct statement below. If θ1 < θ2, then material #1 has a smaller index of refraction. If θ1 > θ2, then material #1 has a larger index of refraction. If θ1 > θ2, then material #1 has a smaller index of refraction. If θ1 < θ2, then light travels slower in material #2. If...
The refractive index of medium A is 1.5, and the refractive index of medium B is 2.25. As light passes from medium A into medium B _____. a. It bends towards the normal b. nothing changes. c. It bends away from the normal d. it gets reflected at the same angle it came in at
. Light travels at different speeds through materials due the refractive index of that material. Given that I have a transparent polymer material, would light travel faster or slower through it if it (a) have zero stress on it or (b) have a substantial, but still elastic, stress on it (say 20 MPa for HDPE)? Explain.
[Polarizability and refractive index Questions] Please help! Explain each one. 1. The refractive index, n of a pure liquid sample: a) is the ratio of the speed of light in the vacuum and that of the liquid medium b) depends on the concentration of the substance c) depends on temperature and density d) varies with the wavelength of the radiation source e) a, b, and c are correct 2. In graph n² vs. χ (molar fraction of 1 component) you...
1. When light propagates from a material with a given index of refraction into a material with a smaller index of refraction, the speed of the light A) incease B) decrease C) remain constant 2. What is the minimum value that the index of refraction can have? A) 0 B) +1 C) -1 D)between zero and 1 3) Now consider a ray of light that propagates from water (n=1.33) to air (n=1). If the incident ray strikes the water-air interface...
26.003 The refractive indices of materials A and B have a ratio of nA/nB = 1.26. The speed of light in material A is 1.09 × 108 m/s. What is the speed of light in material B? 26.006 Light has a wavelength of 268.9 nm and a frequency of 7.391 × 1014 Hz when traveling through a certain substance. What is the refraction index of this medium? Use 2.998 × 108 m/s for the speed of light in a vacuum.
(5.) Light propagates from air into a material whose index of refraction is two. At the instant shown, point a is just entering the new material. Point b is on the same wavefront as point a but is still in air. (a.) Using the dashed lines as a guide, determine the location of point a when point b reaches the bounda between the two materials. (b.) Use the new locations of points a and b to draw the wavefront once...
(a) Briefly explain what is meant by the following terms: refraction, refractive index, angle of incidence, angle of refraction. [4 marks] (b) The drawing shows four different situations in which a light ray is traveling from one medium into another. In some of the cases, the refraction is not shown correctly. For cases (i), (ii), and (iii), the angle of incidence is 55°; for case (iv), the angle of incidence is 0°. Identify which cases are incorrectly drawn and determine...
Constants PartA It turns out that the index of refraction of a material does not only depend on what the material is, but also on the color light that is being refracted What you measured in lab was the index of refraction of acrylic for red light. For purple light, the index of refraction of any material is higher than it is for red light Going from the prism to air, which light ray has a greater angle of refraction?...
