A light incident from air on to a flat quartz slab is refracted where violet and red light emerges from the slab. If the angle of incidence on to the slab is 47.0⁰. What will be the angle of refraction of the two rays in the quartz plate? The angle of refraction for red is 1.459 while for violet is 1. 499.Observe for the rule of significant figures.
