Question

A ray of light strikes the midpoint of one face of an equiangular(60° -60° -60°) glass prism (n = 1.5) atan angle of incidence of 36°. (a) Trace the path of the light ray through the glass, and find theangles of incidence and refraction at each surface.
1st surface: incidence = ° refraction = ° 2nd surface: incidence = ° refraction = °
(b) If a small fraction of light is also reflected at each surface,find the angles of reflection at the surfaces.
reflection = °(1st surface) reflection = °(2nd surface) (a) Trace the path of the light ray through the glass, and find theangles of incidence and refraction at each surface.

(b) If a small fraction of light is also reflected at each surface,find the angles of reflection at the surfaces.
reflection = °(1st surface) reflection = °(2nd surface) incidence = ° refraction = °

Explanation / Answer

(a) first surface: i=36 r=23.56 second surface: i=36.44 r=64 (b) 1=36 2=23.56
