Textbook Question

Chapter 25, Problem 19P

Unpolarized light in vacuum is incident onto a sheet of glass with index of refraction n. The reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other. Find the angle of incidence. This angle is called Brewster’s angle or the polarizing angle. In this situation, the reflected light is linearly polarized, with its electric field restricted to be perpendicular to the plane containing the rays and the normal.

Light in vacuum is incident on the surface of a slab of transparent material. In the vacuum the beam makes an angle of 28.7° with the normal to the surface, while in the slab it makes an angle of 13.4° with the normal. What is the index of refraction of the transparent material?

A parallel sided plate of glass with an index of refraction of 1.60 is in contact with the surface of water (n=1.33) in a tank. A ray coming from above makes an angle of incidence of 30.0° with the normal to the top surface of the glass plate. (a) What is the speed of light in the glass plate? (b) What is the critical angle between the glass and the water? (c) What angle does this ray make with the normal in the water? (d) Include a diagram of the situation. [Diagram 3 pts.]

The indices of refraction for violet light and red light in a certain kind of glass are 1.45 and 1.40, respectively. A ray of white light traveling through air strikes the glass surface at an angle of 52.7° to the normal. Calculate the angular separation between these two colors of light in the refracted ray inside the glass. degrees
