This exam is formed of 3 obligatory exercises in 2 pages.
The use of non-programmable calculators is allowed.
First exercise (7 points) Refraction of light
A luminous ray (SI), propagating in air, falls on the free surface of S
water at a point I (fig. 1) under an angle of incidence i. It then refracts
along (IR) making an angle r with the normal (NN') at point I
1) Redraw figure 1 and represent on it: (NN), (IR), i and r.
2) We vary i between 0 and 90o. The curve below (fig. 2) gives the I air
variations of r as a function of i. eau
Figure 1 water
a) Determine graphically the value of r for i = 0. Deduce how does a luminous ray refract when it falls
normally on the surface of water.
b) Determine graphically the value of i for r = 15o and the value of r for i = 70o.
c) For i = 90o, the angle of refraction is 49o. What does this angle represent for the system (water-air}?
3) Another luminous ray (AJ) passes from water to air under an angle of incidence of 35o.
a) Determine graphically, by applying the principle of reversibility of light, the value of the angle of
refraction corresponding to this incidence.
b) Draw a diagram showing the surface of separation {water-air}, the incident ray (AJ), the normal at the
point of incidence J, the refracted ray (JB) as well as the angle of deviation d.
c) Calculate the value of d.

The vertical sensitivity on both channels is SV = 5 V/div.
(I) (II)
I- Exploitation of the waveform (I)
1) Give the type of the voltage uAB represented by waveform (I). Justify.
2) The value of this voltage is negative. Why?
3) Determine the value of uAB.
4) Is the phase of the oscilloscope connected to the point A or to B ? Why ?
5) Give the name of a source of tension that may deliver such voltage.
II- Exploitation of the waveform (II)
1) Give the type of voltage uCD represented by the waveform (II).
2) Determine the maximum value of uCD. Deduce the effective value of uCD.
III- Feeding a lamp
Consider a lamp L labeled (12 V).
1) What does the indication 12 V represent for this lamp?
2) Upon feeding this lamp successively with the voltages uAB and uCD.
a) (L) functions normally under the voltage uAB .Why?
b) (L) does not function normally under the voltage uCD. Why?

III.1) 12V is the rated voltage of the lamp 0.5
III.2)a) UAB is a constant voltage of value 12V equal to the voltage of normal functioning of (L) 0.5
III.2)b) Since the effective voltage of UCD (8.5V) is different from the rated voltage of the lamp 0.5

2) Pwater exerted by water = 2.g.h = 1000100.1 = 1000 Pa 1
Ptotal = Pwater + Patm (0.5)
3) 1
= 104360 Pa (0.5)
4)a) Since B and C are in the same horizontal plane and in the same liquid at equilibrium 1
The pressure of the confined gas is the pressure at point B or Pgas = PB (0.5) 1

I. (SI) is in air
In a first experiment, a luminous ray (SI), propagating in air, falls on the surface of
separation (air-water). Its corresponding refracted ray (IR) forms an angle of refraction i2.
In the table below, we have recorded some values of the angle of incidence i1 and the
corresponding values of the angle of refraction i2.
i1 () 0 30 45 90
i2 () 0 22 x 49
1) Show, referring to the table, that air is less refractive than water.
2) Among the two given values 320 and 600, specify which correspond to x.
3) Show that, whatever the value of the angle of incidence i1 is, (SI) does not undergo total
internal reflection.
In a second experiment, the luminous ray (SI), propagating in water, falls on the surface of
separation (water-air).
1) For an angle of incidence i1 = 49, the refracted ray grazes the surface of separation.
The angle 49 represents the critical (limiting) angle of the system (water-air). Justify.
2) For an angle of incidence i1 = 60, the luminous ray (SI) undergoes at I total internal
reflection. Justify.
III. Conclusion
Deduce, from the preceding, the two conditions that must be satisfied by a ray of light in
order to undergo the phenomenon of total internal reflection on the surface of separation of
two transparent homogeneous media.

Second exercise (7 points) Study of a voltage
The object of this exercise is to determine the stiffness k of an elastic spring (R).

lower end A carries a solid (S) of center of gravity G and of mass m = 0.5 kg.
The solid (S) is then submitted to two forces: its weight and the tension of the
spring.
At equilibrium, the elongation of the spring is x = 10 cm.
