Question

Assume all angles to be exact. The index of refraction of crown glass is 1.515 for red light and 1.523 for blue light. Part A If light of both colors is incident on crown glass from air, the blue color will be refracted more, less, or the same amount as the red color. more less the same amount Part B This question will be shown after you complete previous question(s). Part C Find the angle separating rays of the two colors in a piece of crown glass if their angle of incidence is 44 degree. Express your answer using two significant figures. Delta theta= degrees

Explanation / Answer

a)more since it has a greater refractive index.

b)Sin(theta1)=Sin44/1.515

theta 1 =27.2917 degrees

Sin(theta 2)=Sin44/1.523

theta2=27.1365 degrees

delta theta=27.2917-27.1365=0.1552 degrees
