Question

A ray of light strikes a flat 2.00 cm thick block ofdiamond (n = 2.419) at an angle of =30.0° with the normal (Fig.P22.18). Trace the light beam through the diamond and find the angles of incidence andrefraction at each surface.
1° (angle of refraction at firstsurface)
2° (angle of incidence at secondsurface)
3° (angle of refraction at secondsurface) IMAGE: http://s1002.photobucket.com/albums/af149/jakeloftin2186/?action=view&current=7.jpg A ray of light strikes a flat 2.00 cm thick block ofdiamond (n = 2.419) at an angle of =30.0° with the normal (Fig.P22.18).

Explanation / Answer

(1) Snell's Law sin30=n*sinx =>x=11.93 0 (2)angle of incidence at second surface)
=x=11.93 0 (3) angle of refraction at secondsurface n*sinx=sin =>=30 degrees (3) angle of refraction at secondsurface n*sinx=sin =>=30 degrees
