barium glass n=1.60
crown glass n=1.523
water n=1.33
diamond n=2.45diamondwaterflint glassbarium glass - 3. Multiple ChoiceIf a pulse of red light and a pulse of blue light travel in vacuumThe red pulse travels faster because its index of refraction is smallerThe blue pulse travels fasterThe two pulses travel at the same speedThe relative speed depends on the exact wavelengths of the red and blue pulses
- 4. Multiple ChoiceAccording to Willebord Snell, light passing from air to glass will cause the light tomaintain its original speedaccelerate while it is in glassincrease its speedreduce its speed
- 5. Multiple ChoiceA ray of light traveling from air into crown glass strikes the surface at an angle of 30 degrees. What is the angle of refraction? (air n=1, crown glass n=1.532)39.7 degrees19.2 degrees59.1 degrees12.3 degrees
- 6. Multiple Choice
According to the Law of reflection, a light ray striking a mirrorcontinues moving through the mirror in the same directionmoves into the mirror at a slightly different anglebounces off the mirror toward the direction it came frombounces off the mirror at the same angle it hits. - 7.
