A ray of light traveling through air strikes the diamond surface at an angle of 51.5 to the normal Calculate the angular separation between these two colors of light in the refracted ray 6-10.420 MMy Answers Give Up Submit Incorrect; Try Again; 5 attempts remaining

Explanation / Answer

violet:

sin = sin51.5º / 2.46 = 0.318133 = 18.55º

red:

sin = sin51.5º / 2.41 = 0.324733 = 18.95º

so the angle of separation is = 0.40º
