The intensity l of light from an isotropic point source is determined as a function of distance r from the source. Figure gives the intensity l versus the inverse square r-2 of that distance. The vertical axis scale is set by Is=400 W m-2 and the horizontal axis scale is set by rs-2=8.0 m-2. What is the power of the source?

In the figure, a light ray in water is incident at angle θ1 on a boundary with an underlying material, into which some of the light refracts. There are two choices of underlying material. For each, the angle of refraction θ2 versus the incident angle θ1 is given in the figure b. The vertical axis scale is set by θ2s=80°. Without calculation, determine whether the index of refraction of a material 1 and b material 2 is greater or less than the index of water (n=1.33) . What is the index of refraction of c material 1 and d material 2?

In the figure, a light ray in air is incident on a flat layer of material 2 that has an index of refraction, n2=1.7. Beneath material 2, is material 3 with an index of refraction n3. The ray is incident on the air-material 2 interface at the Brewster angle for that interface. The ray of light refracted into material 3 happens to be incident on the material 2-material 3 interface at the Brewster angle for that interface. What is the value of n3?

Someone plans to float a small, totally absorbing sphere 0.200 m above an isotropic point source of light, so that, the upward radiation force from the light matches the downward gravitational force on the sphere. The sphere's density is 19.0 g cm-3, and its radius is 0.500 mma What power would be required of the light source? b Even if such a source were made, why would the support of the sphere be unstable?
