Chapter 34: Q. 6 (page 990)

The mirror in FIGURE EX34.6 deflects a horizontal laser beam by 60鈭�. What is the angle 蠒?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Angle of the laser beam,蠒=30掳

Step by step solution

01

The Law of Reflection

The incident and reflected rays are parallel to the surface and within the same plane.

胃i=胃r

02

Estimate the values

In FIGURE 34.6, a horizontal beam strikes the mirror and deflects it by 60degrees.

When we are asked to calculate the angle supported the geometry of the figure, we notice that

胃i+蠒=90掳鉄�胃i=90掳-蠒

胃r+60掳-蠒=90掳鉄�胃r=90掳-60掳-蠒

03

Find the Angle

胃i=胃r, In keeping with the rule of reflection. so,

90掳-蠒=90掳-60掳-蠒

蠒=60掳-蠒

2蠒=60掳

蠒=30掳

A light beam passing from medium 2 to medium 1 is refracted as shown in FIGURE Q34.4. Is n1 larger than n2, is n1smaller than n2, or is there not enough information to tell? Explain

It鈥檚 night time, and you鈥檝e dropped your goggles into a 3.0-m-deep swimming pool. If you hold a laser pointer 1.0 m above the edge of the pool, you can illuminate the goggles if the laser beam enters the water 2.0 m from the edge. How far are the goggles from the edge of the pool?

Optical engineers need to know the cone of acceptance of an optical fiber. This is the maximum angle that an entering light ray can make with the axis of the fiber if it is to be guided down the fiber. What is the cone of acceptance of an optical fiber for which the index of refraction of the core is 1.55 while that of the cladding is 1.45? You can model the fiber as a cylinder with a flat entrance face.

An object is 6cmin front of a converging lens with a focal length of10cm . Use ray tracing to determine the location of the image. Is the image upright or inverted?

There鈥檚 one angle of incidence 尾onto a prism for which the light inside an isosceles prism travels parallel to the base and emerges at angle 尾.

a. Find an expression for 尾in terms of the prism鈥檚 apex angle 伪and index of refraction n.

b. A laboratory measurement finds that 尾= 52.2掳 for a prism shaped like an equilateral triangle. What is the prism鈥檚 index of refraction?
