Question

Transcribed Image Text:63 In Fig. 33-60, light enters a 90°
triangular prism at point P with inci-
dent angle 6, and then some of it
refracts at point Q with an angle of
refraction of 90°. (a) What is the in-
dex of refraction of the prism in
terms of 6? (b) What, numerically,
is the maximum value that the index of refraction can have? Does
light emerge at Q if the incident angle at P is (c) increased slightly
and (d) decreased slightly?

For the pane's type of glass, the index of refraction for visible light ranges from 1.524 at the blue end of the spectrum to 1.509 at the red end. The two sides of the pane are paral- lel. What is the angular spread of the colors in the beam (a) when the light enters the pane and (b) when it emerges from the opposite side?
