Question: In Fig. 33-62, a light ray in air is incident at angle 1on a block of transparent plastic with an index of refraction of. The dimensions indicated are H=2.00cmandW=3.00cm. 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. If 1=70, on which side is the point of (e) first reflection and (f) second reflection? If there is refraction at the point of (g) first reflection, and (h) 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.
