Given small samples of three liquids, you are asked to determine their refractive indexes. However, you do not have enough of each liquid to measure the angle of refraction for light retracting from air into the liquid. Instead, for each liquid, you take a rectangular block of glass (n= 1.52) and Place a drop of the liquid on the top surface f the block. you shine a laser beam with wavelength 638 nm in vacuum at one Side of the block and measure the largest angle of incidence for which there is total internal reflection at the interface between the glass and the liquid. Your results are given in the table. Liquid A B C
θ 52.0 44.3 36.3

Required:
a. What is the refractive index of liquid A at this wavelength?
b. What is the refractive index of liquid B at this wavelength?
c. What is the refractive index of liquid C at this wavelength?

One day, after pulling down your window shade, you notice that sunlight is passing through a pinhole in the shade and making a small patch of light on the far wall. you see that the patch of light seems to be a circular diffraction pattern. it appears that the central maximum is about 1 cm across and you estimate that the distance from the window shade to the wall is about 3 m. what is (a) the average wavelength of sunlight? (b) the diameter of the pinhole?
