A laser beam enters a 14.0 cm thick glass window at an angle of 50.0° from the normal. The index of refraction of the glass is 1.46. At what angle from the normal does the beam travel through the glass? Tries 0/20 How long does it take the beam to pass through the plate?

does anyone know or what?

d. platinum would have the greatest temperature increase because it has the lowest specific heat.

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
