Light — practice question

Fig. 7.1 shows a ray of light heading towards face AB of a glass prism with refractive index 1.5.
(a(i))[4]

On Fig. 7.1, draw the ray path inside the prism accurately from face AB to face AC. A measurement from Fig. 7.1 and a calculation are both needed.

(a(ii))[1]

Determine the angle of incidence of this ray as it strikes face AC.

(b)[1]

Without any further measurement or calculation, sketch on Fig. 7.1 the approximate route of the ray after it passes through face AC.

(c(i))[2]

Complete the ray path to the left-hand end of the fibre.

(c(ii))[1]

Name the process occurring at X.
