Test II. Solving

1. Say, in our simple example above, that we shine a light of wavelength 600 nm from water
into air, so that it makes a 30o angle with the normal of the boundary. Suppose we wish to find
the angle x that the outgoing ray makes with the boundary. Used the Snell's Law formula.

2. A ray of light is traveling through air at an angle of 30∘ to the vertical. It passes into water and halves its
angle to the vertical. What is the index of refraction of water?

3. Find the angle of refraction if a light beam enters water at an angle of relative to the normal.

4. A ray of light initially travelling through the air enters a material at a angle of 30∘ with respect to the
line normal to the surface. The light is this observed to bend toward the normal by 5∘. Calculate the index
of refraction ,n, of the material.

5. A laser initially moving through air enters a medium that has an index of refraction n2=1.40. The beam's
angle with respect to the normal inside the material is measured to be θ2=32∘. Calculate the incident angle
(the angle the laser made with respect to the normal before entering the material).
