Question

A prism whose index of refraction is 1.7 is shown. angle A is 60 degrees. The distance Bp= 10cm. BA=15cm.

A ray of light enters the prism ABC at the point p perpendicular to the surface AB.

By continuing the ray diagram,

Describe what this ray of light does as it progresses through the prism.

a. what does it do at surface AB?

b. what does it do as it strikes surface AC, where does it strike, and does it refract or reflect at this surface, and what is its new direction? (draw the ray and indicate the angle)

c. does it then strike surface BC, and if so, where,(where along the line BC does it strike?)

d. show the ray as it exists the prism. (draw the ray and indicate its direction)

in each case, indicate the x, y position of the ray of light as it enters or leaves a given surface.

Explanation / Answer

Hi I have done the solution for this in my notebook. But the solution is too big , I cannot type it here because very less time is remaining.. So please rate me Lifesaver and I'll share the answer with you through email or cramster inbox. I don't do this generally, but I have no other option here because there's very less time left... you need not worry as I have the solution ready
