A ray of light strikes the midpoint of one face of an equiangular (60°–60°–60°) glass prism (n = 1.5) at an angle of incidence of 32.8°.

(a) Trace the path of the light ray through the glass, and find the angles of incidence and refraction at each surface.
First surface:

θincidence =

θrefraction

Second surface:

θincidence

=
θrefraction =

(b) If a small fraction of light is also reflected at each surface, find the angles of reflection at the surfaces.

Sunlight strikes a piece of crown glass at an angle of incidence of 30.3o. Calculate the difference in the angle of refraction between a yellow (580 nm) and a violet (410 nm) ray within the glass. The index of refraction is n=1.523 for yellow and n=1.538 for violet light. You have to calculate the angle of refraction for both light rays (they have different indices of refraction). You are looking for the difference of these angles. Incorrecto. Tries 2/12 Intentos...
