When light is incident normally on the interface between two transparent optical media, the intensity of the reflected light is given by the expression S1=(n2n1n2+n1)2S1 In this equation, S1 represents the average magnitude of the Poynting vector in the incident light (the incident intensity), S1 is the reflected intensity, and n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the two media.

(b) Does it matter in part (a) whether the light is in the air or in the glass as it strikes the interface?
Which of the following statements are (or could be) true? Choose all that apply. A rock at a temperature of 49 K will not emit EM waves. The index of refraction of a newly discovered transparent material is -1.1. In a vacuum, x-rays move slower than UV rays. Total internal reflection will not occur if the critical angle is greater than the incident angle. A light ray was reflected. The incident angle was 65° and the reflected angle was 65º. If do, then d₁ = 0.

Problem 6: Fiber optics are an important part of our modern internet. In these fibers, two different glasses are used to confine the light by total internal reflection at the critical angle for the interface between the core (ncore = 1.508 ) and the cladding (ncladding = 1.43).

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP: An optical fiber is made with a core of glass with index of refraction n2 and a thin layer called the "cladding" with index n3 < n2. We want the find how much light we can capture in the fiber, that is, the largest incident angle theta1 that will result in light in the fiber that strikes the core- cladding boundary at an angle theta3 that is large enough to result in total internal flection. a. What is the minimum angle theta3 for which there will be total internal inflection. b. What is the relation between thetha, and theta 3 c) What is the maximum value of sin theta1 that will result in capture in the fiber? (This is an important parameter for an optical fiber.) Your answer should contain only the indices of refraction in the problem. Please use 1 for n1.
White light enters flint glass from air (n₁ = 1). The angle of incidence is 8, = 63 degrees. Due to dispersion in the glass, the index of refraction for red light is 1.662, while the index for violet light is 1.698. Due to this difference, the violet and red parts of white light are refracted by different amounts. What is the difference in refraction angle (AO) between violet and red fin this situation?

The index of refraction of a newly discovered transparent material is -1.8. In a vacuum, infrared waves move faster than x-rays. Total internal reflection will occur if the critical angle is greater than the incident angle. A light ray was reflected. The incident angle was 53° and the reflected angle was 9⁰. If do= ∞, then d = f.
