A ray of light in air is incident on an air-to-glass boundary at an angle of 30. degrees with the normal. If the index of refraction of the glass is 1.65, what is the angle of the refracted ray within the glass with respect to the normal?

Use Snell's law:ni * sine(Theta i) = nr * sine(Theta r)

• 56 degrees

• 46 degrees

• 30. degrees

• 18 degrees

Use Snell's Law ni * sine(Theta i) = nr * sine(Theta r)

• 1.35

• 1.48

• 1.49

• 0.743

A light ray in air enters and passes through a block of glass. What can be stated with regard to its speed after it emerges from the block?

Which of the following statements are true of converging lenses?

• Converging lenses are thicker at the center than they are at the edges

• Converging lenses can produce images which are both magnified and reduced in size.

• The images formed by a converging lens can be located on either side of the lens relative to the object.

• All of these

Which of the following statements are true of diverging lenses?

• Diverging lenses only produce virtual images.

• Diverging lenses only produce upright images.

• Diverging lenses only produce reduced images.

• All of these

Which of the following statements are true of real images?

• Real images are inverted.

• Real images as formed by lenses are located on the opposite side of the lens from the object.

• Real images are only formed by converging lenses, never by diverging lenses.

• All of these

Which of the following statements are true of virtual images?

• Virtual images are always upright.

• Virtual images as formed by lenses are always located on the same side of the lens as the object.

• Virtual images can be formed by both converging lenses (when the object is inside of F) and diverging lenses (regardless of the object location).

• All of these
