Question

For every diagram you draw in this lab you will need to draw one or more normal lines.  Which of the following is always true about a normal line?

In which of the following scenarios is total internal reflection possible?

   I.  When light travels from air into glass.
   II. When light travels from glass into air.

1. I only

2. Both I and II.

3. Neither I nor II

4. II only

1.It is perpendicular to the surface of the material.
2.It is perpendicular to the refracted ray.
3.It is perpendicular to the incident ray.

A material's index of refraction is a dimensionless number that relates the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in that material. Crown glass has an index of refraction equal to 1.52. What is the speed of light in crown glass? 1. 4.55685*10^8
2. 4.55685*10^8 m/s
3. it depends on the angle at which the light enters the crown glass.
4.1.97232*10^8 m/s
5.1.97232*10^8

In which of the following scenarios is total internal reflection possible?

   I.  When light travels from air into glass.
   II. When light travels from glass into air.

1. I only

2. Both I and II.

3. Neither I nor II

4. II only

Explanation / Answer



1) 1.It is perpendicular to the surface of the material.


2) refractive index n= speed of light in vaccum/ speed of light in crown glass...

n=c/v...

c=3*10^8 m/s

v=c/n=1.973*10^8 m/s


ans is 4) 1.97232*10^8 m/s


3)when light travells from denser to rarer medium....Total internal reflection takes place..

When light travels from glass into air.


ans is 4) II only
