Question

A laser beam is incident at an angle of 30.8 degree to the vertical onto a solution of corn syrup in water. (a) If the beam is refracted to 19.50 degree to the vertical, what is the index of refraction of the syrup solution? 1.53 (b) Suppose the light is red, with wavelength 632.8 nm in a vacuum. Find its wavelength in the solution. 5228.7 Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully. nm (c) Find its frequency in the solution. 4.74e + 14 Hz (d) Find its speed in the solution. 1.96e + 08 m/s A ray of light is incident on the surface of a block of clear ice at an angle of 30.0 degree with the normal. Part of the light is reflected and part is refracted Find the angle between the reflected and refracted light. 127.1

Explanation / Answer

part b )

lambda = lambda_vac/n

n = 1.53

lambda_vac = 632.8 nm

lambda = 413.595 nm = 414 nm
