Two parallel mirrors are separated by some distance and the medium between the two mirrors is not a vacuum or air. The distance between the mirrors is 0.3 meters. A light ray (EM wave) is incident on the first mirror at an angle of 24 degrees with respect to the normal. The ray bounces back and forth 45 times before it exits the mirror (A bounce is a trip from one mirror to the other mirror. Not bouncing two bounces back to the first mirror.) If it takes the light ray 13 x 10-8 s to exit the mirror. Then, this medium between the mirrors is placed on the interface of a flat surface. If light originates from this medium and travels into a vacuum, what is the angle needed for total internal reflection in degrees?
Assume it leaves the mirror exactly on the last bounce.

A light ray is travelling from a medium with an index of
refraction of 1.25 and is incident at an interface with another
medium at an angle of 48 degrees with the normal. The refracted
angle is 29 degrees. What is the critical angle for total internal
reflection if the light ray starts in the second medium first?
Answer in degrees.

Consider a marble (dot) and one eye (circle) in a room
with two vertical mirror walls shown here “from above” as solid
lines. Angle between mirrors is about
60o.
a) Plot the likely location of the marble’s reflection in the
left-most angled mirror in the figure, and using that trace the
path of a light ray from marble to the angled mirror to the
eyeball. Explain your method in words.
b) Plot the likely location of that first reflection’s image...

Probably still from our high-school days, we all remember the
rules of reflection and refraction of light at a plane interface,
say between vacuum and a medium with refractive index n:
α = α ′, sin α/ sin β = n. (3)
Here we denoted the incident angle as α, the reflection angle α
′ and the refraction angle β. It is interesting to see if we have a
similar situation for material quantum-mechanical waves. For this
purpose, let us...
