Applications Of Reflection Of Light

When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.

Sign Convention for Mirrors

A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.

Question

The figure below shows a monochromatic beam of light striking the right-hand face of a right-angle prism at normal incidence. If 0 = 22.0°, what is the index of refraction of the prism? (Assume a = 59.8º.)
