The light passes through the block to one of its sides and there undergoes reflection (inside the block) and possibly refraction (out into the air). This is the point offirst reflection. The reflected light then passes through the block to another of its sides 鈥 a point ofsecond reflection. If 1=40, on which side is the point of (a) first reflection and (b) second reflection? If there is refraction at the point of (c) first reflection, and (d) second reflection, give the angle of refraction; if not, answer 鈥渘one鈥.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Yes, refraction occurs at point 1; refracted ray strikes at side 3.
  2. Yes, refraction occurs. Hence, it strikes side 1.
  3. Hence, refraction will occur at point 1.
  4. No refraction occurs at this point.
  5. Yes, refraction occurs so refracted ray strikes the side 2.
  6. Yes, refraction occurs so refracted ray strikes the side 3.
  7. No refraction occurs at this point.
  8. Refraction occurs at this point with the same angle 70.

Step by step solution

01

Given

Dimensions of the block are, H=2.00cmandW=3.00cm

1=402=70

The Refractive Index of plastic is 1.56.

02

Understanding the concept

We can find the angle of incidence and reflection by using Snell鈥檚 law. Then by using trigonometry, we can calculate the distance traveled by the ray and then compare it with the dimensions of the block to determine on which side the ray strikes.

Formula:

Snell鈥檚 law:

n1蝉颈苍胃1=n2蝉颈苍胃2

03

(a) If θ1=40∘, on which side is the point of the first reflection

To find the first point of reflection:

Applying Snell鈥檚 law to determine the angle of refraction:

n1sin1=n2sin21.0sin40=1.56sin22=sin-1sin401.562=24.34

Now we can find the vertical distance traveled by the ray.

tan(2)=yWy=3.00cmtan(24.34)y=1.36cm

This is less than H, so refracted ray strikes the side 3.

04

(b) If θ1=40∘, on which side is the point of the second reflection 

To find the second reflection point:

We know that for reflection, the angle is symmetrical.

Now find the horizontal distance traveled by the reflected ray.

迟补苍胃2=H-1.36xx=2.00cm-1.36cmtan24.34x=1.42cm

So, this ray travels1.42cmto the left of the right corner, which is less than W.

Hence, it strikes the side 2.

05

(c) Find the angle of refraction if there is refraction at the point of the first reflection

To check whether there is refraction, first, we have to find the critical angle for the total internal reflection.

c=sin-1nairnr=sin-11.001.56=39.9

Since the angle of incidence for refraction at side 3 is less than this.

Hence, refraction will occur at the point

06

(d) Find the angle of refraction if there is refraction at the point of the second reflection 

To find the angle of incidence for refraction at the point

Here normal axis is vertical. By using trigonometry:

Angleofincidence=90-2=90-24.34=65.66

This is greater than the critical angle, so no refraction occurs at this point.
07

(e) Find out if θ1=70∘, on which side the point of the first reflection

To find the first point of reflection:

Applying Snell鈥檚 law to determine the angle of refraction:

n1sin1=n2sin21.0sin70=1.56sin22=sin-1sin701.562=37.05

Now we can find the horizontal distance traveled by the ray.

tan(2)=Hxx=2.00cmtan37.05x=2.65cm

This is less than W so refracted ray strikes the side 2.

08

(f) Find out if θ=70∘, on which side the point of the second reflection

To find the second reflection point:

Here, the normal axis is vertical.

Angleofincidence=90-2=90-37.05=52.95

Now find the vertical distance traveled by the reflected ray.

迟补苍胃=W-2.65yy=3.00cm-2.65cmtan52.95y=0.264cm

So, this ray travel below from the upper right corner, which is less than .

Hence, it strikes the side .

09

(g) Find the angle of refraction if there is refraction at the point of the first reflection 

To check whether there is refraction, first, we have to find the critical angle for the total internal reflection.

c=sin-1nairnr=sin-111.56=39.9

And the angle of incidence for refraction at side 2 is greater than this. Hence there will be no refraction at point 1.

10

(h) Find the angle of refraction if there is refraction at the point of the second reflection 

To find the angle of incidence for refraction at the point

Here normal axis is vertical. By using trigonometry:

Angleofincidence=90-=90-52.95=37.05

This is less than the critical angle, so refraction occurs at this point with the same angle70.

Project Seafarer was an ambitious program to construct an enormous antenna, buried underground on a site about 10000km2in area. Its purpose was to transmit signals to submarines while they were deeply submerged. If the effective wavelength were1.0104Earth radii, what would be the (a) frequency and(b) period of the radiations emitted? Ordinarily, electromagnetic radiations do not penetrate very far into conductors such as seawater, and so normal signals cannot reach the submarines.

In Fig. 33-42, unpolarized light is sent into a system of three polarizing sheets, which transmitsthe initial light intensity. The polarizing directions of the first and third sheets are at angles1=0and3=90.What are the

(a) smaller and

(b) larger possible values of angle2(<90)for the polarizing direction of sheet 2?

In the arrangement of Fig. 33-15a, start with light that is initially polarized parallel to the x axis, and write the ratio of its final intensity I3to its initial intensity I0 asrole="math" localid="1662979786202" I3/I0=Acosn . What are A, n, and if we rotate the polarizing direction of the first sheet (a)60 counterclockwise and (b)90 clockwise from what is shown?

Question: Figure depicts a simplistic optical fiber: a plastic core(n1=1.58)is surrounded by a plastic sheath (n2=1.53). A light ray is incident on one end of the fiber at angle.The ray is to undergo total internal reflection at point A, where it encounters the core鈥搒heath boundary. (Thus there is no loss of light through that boundary.) What is the maximum value of that allows total internal reflection at A?

(b) If A is decreased, does part of the light refract into material 3 ? Light from ray B refracts from material 1into the thin layer, crosses that layer, and is then incident at the critical angle on the interface between materials 2 and 3. (c) What is the value of incident angleB ? (d) IfB is decreased, does part of the light refract into material 3 ?
