Question

1)An angle marking is like a meter stick marking. The marking of 1.2m on a meter stick only means an object is 1.2m long if the object starts at zero meters. If it starts at 0.2 meters then the object is really 1.0 meters long. You will be making angle calculations from angle markings in a similar fashion.

Given a green marking of 212 degrees and a straight-on marking of 253 degrees, how much has the light bent?

2)Given lambda-2 = 4.07E-06[nm-2] and theta = 38.55[degrees], then what is the index of refraction to the nearest hundredths?
(Take the phi in the equation for n in the manual to be 60 degrees.)

Explanation / Answer

1) 253-212 = 41 degrees

2) ?1 is the incident angle, ?2 is the resultant angle.

To find the index of refraction, you take n1/n2 = sin ?2/sin ?1.

Presume:
n1 = 1
?1 = ?=60
