A light ray falls on the left face of a prism (see below) at the angle of incidence for which the emerging beam has an angle of refraction at the right face. Show that the index of refraction n of the glass prism is given by n=sin12(+)sin12 where is the vertex angle of the prism and is the angle through which the beam has been deviated. If = 37.0° and the base angles of the prism are each 50.00, what is n?
. If the mirror described in the previous problem is used to form an image of the same object now located 16 cm in front of the mirror, what would the new image position be? Assuming that the magnification equations developed for lenses also apply to mirrors, describe the image (size and orientation) thus formed.

Sections 9.6 and 9.7 deal with the phenomena of dispersion and its applications to atmospheric optics. One such application is the explanation of rainbows. Develop a concept map that you could use to teach a friend or family member about the formation and basic characteristics of rainbows. Your map should include links to the fundamental physical processes of reflection, refraction, and dispersion and should distinguish between primary and secondary rainbows. It should also indicate the conditions that must be satisfied to observe rainbows.
