refraction of light that gets to come out from 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.

Two converging lenses, with focal lengths f1 and f2 are positioned a distance f1 + f2 apart, as shown in the figure below. Arrangements like this are called beam expanders and are often used to increase the diameters of light beams from lasers.
a. If W1 is the incident beam width, show that the width of the emerging beam is W2 = f2/f1 * W1b. Show how a combination of one diverging and one converging lens can also be arranged as a beam expander. Incident rays parallel to the axis should exit parallel to the axis
c. Calculate the ratio of the intensity of the beam emerging from the beam expander to the intensity of the laser beam.
that a ray incident on a 30° prism is deflected by 22.6° if the prism’s index of refraction is 1.59. Suppose that this is the index of refraction of deep violetlight, and that deep red light has an index of refraction of 1.54.a. What is the deflection angle for deep red light?b. If a beam of white light is dispersed by this prism, how wide is the rainbow spectrum on a screen 2.0 m away?

- Glass, despite being transparent, still reflects a little bit of light. When making lenses and such, you'd rather not waste any light with stray reflections. Fortunately, you can use destructive interference to suppress those reflections. The picture below shows a piece of glass with a coating of magnesium fluoride (MgF2). The arrows represent incoming light. Some of the light will reflect off the air-MgF2 interface. Some of the light will reflect off the MgF2-glass interface. If you can get these two portions of light to interfere destructively, there won't be any visible reflections. Use what you know about path length differences and interference to figure out how thick the coating of MgF2 needs to be for an anti-reflective coating for light of wavelength 640 nm. Use the thinnest coating possible. MgF2 has an index of refraction of 1.38 and the glass has an index of 1.58.Note: the wavelength given is the wavelength of the light in air.arrow_forwardA ray of light is incident on the left vertical face of a glass cube of refractive index n2, as shown in figure below. The plane of incidence is the plane of the page, and the cube is surrounded by liquid of refractive index n1.
