Question

2)
What is n, the index of refraction of the prism for red light?

3)
What is 3, the angle the transmitted beam makes with the horizontal axis?

4)
What is 1,max, the maximum value of 1 for which the incident beam experiences total internal reflection at the horizontal face of the prism?

5)
The red beam is now replaced by a violet beam that is incident at the same angle 1 and same height h. The prism has an index of refraction nviolet = 1.5 for violet light. Compare dviolet, the exit distance for violet light, to d, the exit distance for red light.

6)
Suppose now that the violet beam is incident at height h, but makes an angle 1,v = 60o with the horizontal. What is 3,v, the angle the transmitted beam makes with the horizontal axis?
