Question: Reflection & Refraction A light ray enters a rectangular block of plastic ( n = 1 . 2 ) at an angle 1 = 5

Reflection & Refraction A light ray enters a rectangular block of plastic (n=1.2) at an angle 1=50.0 as shown in the figure below
(a) Determine the angle of the outgoing ray with the normal at the air-plastic interface
[2]
(b) Determine the angle of the incident ray with the normal at the point where the ray exits the block of
[1]
plastic
(c) Determine the angle 2 of the outgoing ray with the normal at the exit point (if you did not solve (b) assume the incoming angle with the normal is 25)
[2]
(d) Determine the angle of total internal reflection at the exit point
[2]
(e) The block of plastic is now immersed in a liquid with index of refraction n1. At what value of n1 is the ray totally internally reflected at point P? Assume the incoming angle does not change. (if you did not solve (b) assume the incoming angle with the normal is 25)
[1]
(f) What is the angle of the outgoing ray with respect to the normal assuming it is totally internally reflected?
[2]
