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.

Ꮎ air α prism -B air glass White light is incident from air onto a triangular prism at an angle denoted with respect to the normal. It refracts into the prism then into glass then exits into the air. The prism has an index of refraction of 1.49 for red light and 1.52 for violet light. The glass has an index of refraction of 1.61 for red light and 1.64 for violet light. What is the angular separation (dispersion angle) of the two noted colors after leaving the glass? Take nair = 1.00 for all wavelengths. SOLVE IN TERMS OF 0, a and B!!!
