Light of frequency 6.0 x 1014 hertz strikes a glass/air boundary at an angle of incidence q1. The ray is partially reflected and partially refracted at the boundary, as shown above. The index of refraction of this glass is 1.6 for light of this frequency.

(a) Determine the value of q3 if q1 = 30o.

(b) Determine the value of q2 if q1 = 30o.

(c) Determine the speed of this light in the glass.

(d) Determine the wavelength of this light in the glass.

(e) What is the largest value of q1 that will result in a refracted ray?
