A ray of sunlight is passing from diamond into crown glass; the angle of incidence is 35.90°. The indices of refraction for the blue and red components of the ray are: blue (ndiamond = 2.444, ncrown glass = 1.531), and red (ndiamond = 2.410, ncrown glass = 1.520). Determine the angle between the refracted blue and red rays in the crown glass.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Given the angle of incidence and refractive indices, we use Snell's law:

We use this for both Red light and Blue light seperately to find and then find the difference.
