Geometric Optics: Snell's Law

Medium

(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Medium of Physics

In an optics experiment, a monochromatic light beam is incident on a surface separating two transparent mediums with different refractive indices. The beam has an incidence of 60° with respect to the normal in the first medium, where the refractive index is n1 = 1.5. The second medium has an unknown refractive index n2. Knowing that the refracted light beam forms an angle of 45° with respect to the normal in the second medium, calculate the value of n2 using Snell's Law.
a.
n2 ≈ 2.12
b.
n2 ≈ 2.34
c.
n2 ≈ 1.68
d.
n2 ≈ 1.95
e.
n2 ≈ 1.83

A glass prism is used in a laboratory experiment to separate the colors that make up white light. The prism is in the shape of an equilateral triangle with sides of length 10 cm and a refractive index of 1.5. A monochromatic light beam is incident on the prism and emerges with an angular deviation. For this experiment, consider that the light beam hits the first face of the prism at a 45º angle. (a) Calculate the angle of refraction on the first face of the prism, applying Snell's Law; (b) Determine the angle of incidence of the light beam on the second face of the prism as it passes through it; (c) Using the information obtained in the previous steps, calculate the total angular deviation of the light beam passing through the prism.

A technician from an electronics company is working on a circuit involving three capacitors in series. The capacitors have capacitances of 6μF, 8μF, and 12μF, respectively. Assuming the potential difference applied to the capacitors is 60V, determine the charge stored in each capacitor and the equivalent capacitance of the series configuration.
