In a museum an old document is protected by a 3.25 cm thick glass plate directly on top of the document. The refractive index of the glass is 1.65. How far behind the glass surface appears the image of the document when looking perpendicular on the glass plate?
The angle of incidence is angle made by incident ray with normal.
In this case, angle of incidence is 0.
By Snell's law, angle of refraction is 0.
Thus, there is no change in depth.
Distance appeared = Thickness of glass = 3.25 cm.

A ray of light is incident normally on a glass plate 6.00 cm thick and of refractive index n = 1.29 If the plate is turned through an angle of 74.0° about an axis perpendicular to the ray, what is the increase in the distance the ray travels in the glass? (nair = 1.00)
A small logo is embedded in a thick block of crown glass (n = 1.52), 3.20 cm beneath the top surface of the glass. The block is put under water, so there is 1.80 cm of water above the top surface of the block. The logo is viewed from directly above by an observer in air. How far beneath the top surface of the water does the logo appear to be? cm
18) A defect in a diamond appears to be 2.90 mm below the surface when viewed from directly above that surface. How far beneath the surface is the defect? The refractive index of diamond is 2.419. 19) An object 2.00 cm high is placed 11.9 cm in front of a convex mirror with radius of curvature of 8.50 cm. Where is the image formed? If the image is formed in front of the mirror, enter a positive answer and if...
A glass plate 2.50 mm thick, with an index of refraction of 1.40, is placed between a source of light with wavelength 540 nm (in vacuum) and a screen. The source is 1.80 cm from the screen. How many wavelengths are there between the source and the screen?
You are looking, from directly above, at a goldfish at the bottom of a 54.0-cm fish tank filled with water. How far away does the fish look to you? The index of refraction of water is 1.34. A beam of light is incident, from air, on a flat surface of glass (n=1.50). The refracted ray inside the glass is found to make an angel of 26.7° with the direction of the incident ray. Calculate the angle of incident.
1) A laser beam enters a 12.0 cm thick glass window at an angle of 66.0° from the normal. The index of refraction of the glass is 1.42. At what angle from the normal does the beam travel through the glass? I know this one is 40.04 degrees. I am stuck on this one: 2) How long does it take the beam to pass through the plate?
13. A thin glass plate with the refractive index n has to surfaces which are not exactly parallel. In the interference image obtained in the reflected light under nearly nor- mal incident angles the distance between the dark stripes is found to be Ar. The wavelength is . Find the angle a between the plate surfaces. (1p) 14. Total internal reflection is observed in glass (n=1.5) and in water (n=1.33) at identical incidence angles. In which case the penetration depth...

A glass sphere has radius R = 6.4 cm and index of refraction 1.6. A paperweight is constructed by slicing through the sphere along a plane that is 2.0 cm from the center of the sphere, leaving height h = 4.4 cm. The paperweight is placed on a table and viewed from directly above by an observer who is distance d = 9.3 cm from the tabletop (the figure below). When viewed through the paperweight, how far away does the...
