A light ray is traveling in a diamond (n = 2.419). If the rayapproaches the diamond-air
interface, what is the minimum angle of incidence that will resultin all of the light being reflected back into the diamond? Theindex of refraction for air is 1.000.

The indices of refraction for violet light (λ = 400 nm) and red light (λ = 700 nm) in a diamond are 2.46 and 2.41, respectively. A ray of light traveling through air strikes the diamond surface at an angle of 51.0° to the normal. What is the angular separation between these two colors of light in the refracted ray?

What is the critical angle for the interface between water and diamond? To be internally reflected, the light must start in which material? (Bob Note: nwater = 1.33, ndiamond = 2.42. Since diamond has a larger index of refraction, the light ray will start and remain in the diamond for angles equal to, and larger than the critical angle?
