The index of refraction of theplastic cylindrical lens depends on wavelength. Choose an anglewhich gives a good color separation and measure the index ofrefraction for blue and red light.

Question:How big is the difference in indices of refraction? How good is theapproximation that n is constant for thismaterial?

If this question doesnt make sense..then just answer ittheoretically speaking. That is how would we go about checkingwhether or not it conforms with the n as the constant for thematerial... Thanks!

The Law ofReflection

The law of reflection states that for a plane mirror, the angle ofincidence is equal to the angle of reflection, and that the tworays lie in a plane.

r

normal

. A light ray perpendicular to the surface has an angle ofincidence 0°.

The Law of Refraction –Snell’s Law

A ray of light passing from one substance (index ofrefraction

n1)into another (index of refraction n

2) across a plane boundary will be refracted. The angle the raymakes in one medium will be related to the angle in the secondmedium by the equation below, and that all rays lie in aplane.

Total InternalReflection

A ray incident on a medium with lower index of refraction willbe

totally internally reflected if sin θ1> n2/n1.There will be no transmitted beam for this incident angle. Ameasurement of the critical angle for total internalreflection can be used to determine the index of refraction of the substance.If n

2 = 1 (air), then the critical angle is:

sin θc = 1/

n

Polarization byReflection – Brewster’s Angle

If the angle between the reflected and refracted rays is 90°,then

tan θ

B = n2/n

1. (4)

At this angle, only light with polarization out of the plane ofreflection and refraction will be reflected. The reflected lightwill be completely polarized.

Every transparent material can be characterized by what is called its index of refraction, n, given by the equation

Chapter 9, Problem 4C, Every transparent material can be characterized by what is called its index of refraction, n, given , example 1

Here c is the speed of light in a vacuum and v is the speed of light in the transparent material. Although normal air is not quite a vacuum, its density is small enough that vair is approximately equal to c, so that we may take Chapter 9, Problem 4C, Every transparent material can be characterized by what is called its index of refraction, n, given , example 2without too much error.
The precise mathematical relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction is given by what is known as Snell’s law,

Chapter 9, Problem 4C, Every transparent material can be characterized by what is called its index of refraction, n, given , example 3
where n1 and A1 are the index of refraction and the angle between the light ray and the normal, respectively, in medium 1, and n2 and A2 are the corresponding quantities for medium 2.

(a) Using the information in Table 9.1, compute the index of refraction for water and for fused silica (glass).
(b) Verify the result in Example 9.2 using Snell’s law explicitly. Show, using the same relationship, that the values for the angles of refraction in air (medium 2) in panels (b), (c), (d), and (e) of Figure 9.36 are correct for the given angles of incidence in glass (medium 1).
