6- As light travels from a vacuum (n=1) to medium (n>1), which of the following properties remains the
same.
7- When light is incident on any material, the electrons in the material can absorb and reradiate part of
the light, this phenomena called.
8- When unpolarized light is incident on a reflecting surface, the reflected beam may be polarized if
C) the angle between the reflected and refracted beam is 90o. D) incident angle is 90o.
2- The critical angle for total internal reflection at a boundary between two materials is 50°.
What is Brewster’s angle at this boundary? Give two answers, one for each material.
3- A soap film has an index of refraction n = 1.32. The film is illuminated normally by light of
wavelength λ = 445 nm. (a) What is the smallest thickness of the film that it will appear
black? (b) Why would the film also appear black if the film thickness is much less than the
wavelength? (4 Marks)
4- Unpolarized light passes through two Polaroid, the axis of the first is vertical and that of
the second is at 45° to the vertical. Describe the orientation and intensity of the transmitted
light. (4 Marks)
Good Luck
