Question
Using filters, a technician has created a beam of light that consists of three wavelengths: 400 nm (violet), 500 nm (green), and 650 nm (red). He aims the beam so that it passes through air and then enters a block of crown glass. The beam enters the glass at an incidence angle of 
?1 = 47.4°.
The glass block has the following indices of refraction for the respective wavelengths in the light beam.
wavelength (nm) 400 500 650
index of refraction
n400 nm = 1.53
n500 nm = 1.52
n650 nm = 1.51
