A narrow beam of light is incident on the left side of the prism shown in the figure below. The prism is a right triangle, with two of its angles measuring 45°.
A) The transmitted beam that exits the hypotenuse of the prism makes an angle of
? = 17.5° with the direction of the incident beam. What is the index of refraction of the prism?
B) In part (a), we assumed the beam was monochromatic. Consider instead the case where the beam was composed of white light. Because the index of refraction differs for different wavelengths, the white light would be dispersed into constituent colors. Assume the index of refraction for blue wavelengths is 1.01n and for red wavelengths it is 0.99n, where n is the index of refraction found in part (a). What is the angular spread (in degrees) between red and blue light exiting the prism?
If the incident ray at point A is at the critical angle between mediums 2 and 3, does the ray incident at point B refract out of medium 2 into 3? If so, what is the (i) angle of refraction at point B? If not, what is the reflected angle at point B? (ii) Draw an accurate ray diagram at point B. (iii) What is the initial angle θ at point C?

The radius of the lens is 10 cm and the thickness of the glass is 1 cm at the center, as shown in the diagram at right. At time t1, the center of the plane wavefront has just reached the lens.
