light travels from air through two layers with index of refraction n1 and n2, respectively. If upon entering each layer light loses 10% of its velosity, what is the index of refraction n2

Expert Solution

First ,find out velocity in both mediums by using that velocity loses 10% of it ,while entering the medium and after that applying Snell's law of refraction to find refractive index of n2. Hence , refractive index of n2 comes out to be 0.81.

. Light travels at different speeds through materials due the refractive index of that material. Given that I have a transparent polymer material, would light travel faster or slower through it if it (a) have zero stress on it or (b) have a substantial, but still elastic, stress on it (say 20 MPa for HDPE)? Explain.
