In Fig. 33-51, light is incident at angle 1=40.1on a boundary between two transparent materials. Some of the light travels down through the next three layers of transparent materials, while some of it reflects upward and then escapes into the air. Ifn1=1.30,n2=1.40,n3=1.32andn4=1.45, what is the value of

(a)5in the air and

(b) 4in the bottom material?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The value of 5 in the air is 56.90.
  2. The value of 4 in the bottom material is 35.30.

Step by step solution

01

Given

  • The angle of incidence at the boundary between two materials1=40.10
  • The refractive indices n1=1.30,n2=1.40,n3=1.32,n4=1.45
02

Understanding the concept

We can apply Snell鈥檚 law to the material of1and air to find thevalue of5in the air. Similarly, by applying Snell鈥檚 law to each boundary, we get 4 equations and solving them, we can find thevalue of4in the bottom material.

Formula:

n1sin1=n2sin2

03

(a) Calculate the value of θ5  in the air.

According to Snell鈥檚 law,

n1sin1=n5sin5

We have for the airn5=1and1=40.10,

5=sin1n1sin1n55=sin11.30sin40.1015=56.860~56.9

Therefore, the value of 5 in the air is 56.90

04

(b) Calculate the value of   θ4in the bottom material

We have,

n1sin1=n2sin2=n3sin3=n4sin4n1sin1=n4sin44=sin1n1sin1n44=sin11.30sin40.101.454=35.30

Therefore, thevalue of4in the bottom material is35.30

In Fig.33-52a, a beam of light in material1is incident on a boundary at an angle of1=30. The extent of refraction of the light into material2depends, in part, on the index of refractionn2of material 2. Fig.33-52bgives the angle of refraction2versusn2for a range of possiblen2values. The vertical axis scale is set by2a=20.0and2b=40.0
