In winter a lake has a 0.35 m thick ice layer over 1.50 mof water. A light beam from above strikes a spot on the ice, making a 29 ∘ angle with the normal.
How far horizontally from that spot does the light ray strike the lake bottom?
refractive index of ice , n1 = 1.31
refractive index of water , n2 = 1.33
for ray from air to ice:
Applying snell's law to find refractive angle
ni sini = nr sinr
1 * sin29 = 1.31 * sin@r1
@r1 = 21.72 deg
horizontal is d1 from strike point where light strike at ice-water instersection,
d1 / 0.35 = tan21.72
d1 = 0.14 m
for ice to water :
1.31 sin21.72 = 1.33 sin@r2
@r2 = 21.38 deg
d2 / 1.50 = tan21.38
d2 = 0.587 m
d = d1 + d2 = 0.727 m

In winter a lake has a 0.35 m thick ice layer over 1.10 m of water. A light beam from above strikes a spot on the ice, making a 34 ∘ angle with the normal. Part A How far horizontally from that spot does the light ray strike the lake bottom? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
In winter a lake has a 0.35m thick ice layer over 1.40m of water. A light beam from above strikes a spot on the ice, making a 29? angle with the normal. How far horizontally from that spot does the light ray strike the lake bottom?
In winter a lake has a 0.30 m thick ice layer over 1.10 m of water. A light beam from above strikes a spot on the ice, making a 28 ∘ angle with the normal.How far horizontally from that spot does the light ray strike the lake bottom?
A 1m thick glass window with a refractive index of n=1.50 in the North Pole is covered by a 0.5m thick layer of transparent ice with a refractive index of n=1.31 on the outside. A security guard on the inside shines a flashlight at an angle of 30 degrees from the normal at the window. The n of air n=1.0003. Part #1: Make a drawing of the system. Include the path of the light inside the room from the flashlight...
A 1-cm-thick layer of water stands on a horizontal slab of glass. A light ray in the air is incident on the water 62 degrees from the normal. After entering the glass, what is the ray's angle from the normal?
5. A ray of light strikes a thick sheet of glass (n = 1.5 ) at an angle of 25° with the normal. Find the angle of the ray reflected off the glass surface with respect to the normal. a. 56 b. 46° c. 39° d. 25° A beam of light in air is incident at an angle of 30° to the surface of a rectangular block of clear plastic (n = 1.46). The light beam first passes through the...
water interface (the surface of the lake), it is partly
reflected back into the air and partly refracted
or transmitted into the water. This explains why on the surface of
a lake sometimes you see the reflection of the surrounding
landscape and other times the underwater vegetation.
These effects on light propagation occur because light travels at
different speeds depending on the medium. The index of refraction
of a material, denoted by n, gives an indication of the speed of...
What are the Solutions to Part B of Chapter 2 of Tillery Physics 9th edition.......kinda pointless for you guys to only have the solutions that the book has already. 1. What was the average speed in km/h of a car that travels 400.0 km in 4.5 h? 2. What was the average speed in km/h of a boat that moves 15.0 km across a lake in 45 min? 3. How much would a 80.0 kg person weigh (a) on Mars,...
Exercise 2 Separation of a Mixture Based on Acid-Base Properties One purpose of this exercise is to learn how to use a separatory funnel to extract a single component away from other compounds in solution. To do so, we will apply the principles of solubility and acid-base behavior you’re seeing in class. One of the compounds is neutral in the acid-base sense. It has no ability to either donate or accept a proton from an aqueous solution, and will remain...
