A light ray strikes the perfectly smooth boundary between two different materials. The index of refraction of the material before the boundary is lower than that of the material after the boundary. On the basis of this information, the light ray will be

a. partially transmitted in a direction deviating more from the normal and partially reflected.

b. partially transmitted in a direction deviating less from the normal and partially reflected.

c. partially transmitted exactly in the same direction and partially reflected.

d. totally transmitted exactly in the original direction, without any reflection.

e. totally reflected in the first material, without any forward transmission.

A certain material has an index of refraction of 5/4. That means that in this material, as compared to a vacuum, light

a. travels at the same speed but has (4/5) of the frequency it would have in a vacuum.

b. travels with a speed (5/4) c and the frequency is the same it would be in a vacuum.

c. travels at the same speed but has (5/4) of the frequency it would have in a vacuum.

d. travels with a speed (4/5) c and has (4/5) the frequency it would have in a vacuum.

e. travels with a speed (4/5) c and the frequency is the same it would be in a vacuum.

If I have a light ray trapped between two very reflective surfaces such that the light ray doesn't dissipate, how exactly can I know that there IS a light ray there, without disturbing it? As far as I understand, for me to actually observe the light ray with my eyes means the light ray coming out of this loop towards my eyes, escaping the loop. An easy way to test it I suppose is to stick my hand in it...

A costume jewelry pendant made of cubic zirconia is submerged in oil. A light ray strikes one face of the zirconia crystal at an angle of incidence of 29? Once inside, what is the ray's angle with respect to the face of the crystal? Note that the angle we need to find is complementary to the refraction angle.
