The drawing shows a rectangular block of glass (n = 1.52) surrounded by air. A ray of light starts out within the glass and travels toward point A, where some or all of it is reflected toward point B. b. At what angle must the incident beam have originally struck the glass? (What is the original angle of incidence from outside the glass?)

When sodium yellow light (λ = 589 nm) is used in a double-slit experiment, the first-order maximum (bright spot) is 0.035cm from the central maximum. When another source of unknown wavelength is used on the same slit and screen setup, the first-order maximum occurs at 0.032 cm from the center. What is the unknown wavelength in nm? *Hint: use the small angle approximation,
