Solution

Dear Student,
Those glasses in which one side reflects light and other side allow light to pass through it is called "Tinted glass". Its one side is layered by a film which act as a reflector and reflects back the light and as a result we see our own image. But on the other side it just works as a normal glass and transmit the light through it.

Q. In above figure, a light ray in air is incident at angle

θ_{1}

on a block of transparent plastic with an index of refraction of

1.56

. The dimensions indicated are

H = 2.00 c m

W = 3.00 c m

. The light passes through the block to one of its sides and there undergoes reflection (inside the block) and possibly refraction (out into the air). This is the point of first reflection. The reflected light then passes through the block to another of its sides—a point of second reflection. If

θ_{1} = 40^{0}

, on which side is the point of (a) first reflection and (b) second reflection? If there is refraction at the point of (c) first reflection and (d) second reflection, give the angle of refraction; if not, answer “none.” If

θ_{1} = 70^{0}

, on which side is the point of (e) first reflection and (f) second reflection? If there is refraction at the point of (g) first reflection and (h) second reflection, give the angle of refraction; if not, answer “none.”

Q. What is the name of the phenomenon in which the right side of an object appears to be the left side of the image in a plane mirror?

Q. The reflected ray from a plane mirror is incident on another plane mirror which is placed perpendicular to the first. If the angle of incidence on the first mirror is

30^{0}

, determine the glancing angle of reflection on the second mirror.
