8. b. c. The slope and index of refraction should be approximately 1.37. a. When the ray hits point P it is both reflected and refracted. The reflected ray forms the bright spot at point A. The refracted ray hits the surface between block 2 and air and is both reflected and refracted. That refracted ray then hits the surface between block 2 and block 1 and is reflected and refracted. This refracted ray forms the bright spot at point B. b. c. Spot B gets brighter because the ray is no longer refracted at the boundary between block 2 and the air. It is only reflected so that the reflected ray gets brighter. d. Spot B disappears because the ray is no longer refracted as it passes through the boundary from block 2 to block 1. It is only reflected back into block 2.
