When light propagates through two adjacent materials that have different optical properties, some interesting phenomena occur at the interface separating the two materials. For example, consider a ray of light that travels from air into the water of a lake. As the ray strikes the air-water interface (the surface of the lake), it is partly reflected back into the air and partly refracted or transmitted into the water. This explains why on the surface of a lake sometimes you see the reflection of the surrounding landscape and other times the underwater vegetation. These effects on light propagation occur because light travels at different speeds depending on the medium. The index of refraction of a material, denoted by n , gives an indication of the speed of light in the material. It is defined as the ratio of the speed of light c in vacuum to the speed v in the material, or
n=cv
A. When light propagates from a material with a given index of refraction into a material with a smaller index of refraction, the speed of the light

Currents in dc transmission lines can be 100 a or higher. some people are concerned that the electromagnetic fields from such lines near their homes could pose health dangers. for a line that has current 150 a and a height of 8.0 m above the ground, what magnetic field does the line produce at ground level? express your answer in teslas and as a percentage of the earth’s magnetic field, which is 0.50 g. is this value cause for worry?
