Question

A light ray in air strikes the right-angle prism shown in the figure (Figure 1) (?B= 35.0?). This ray consists of two different wavelengths. When it emerges at face AB, it has been split into two different rays that diverge from each other by 8.50? .

Explanation / Answer

Angle of incidence is ?_ i = 90 - 35

= 55 degrees

Angle of refraction is ?_ 1 = 55 + 12.

= 67 degrees

Angle of refraction ?_2 = 67 + 8.5

= 75.5 degrees

index of refraction of the prism for each of the two wavelengths is

n _1 = sin?_1 / sin?_i

= sin ( 67 ) / sin ( 55 )

= 1.124

n_2 = sin?_2 / sin ?_i

= sin ( 75.5 ) / sin ( 55 )

= 1.182
