Question

A ray of sunlight is passing from diamond into crown glass; the angle of incidence is 29.60°. The indices of refraction for the blue and
red components of the ray are: blue (ndiamond 2.444, ncrown glass = 1.531), and red (ndiamond 2.410, ncrown glass = 1.520). Determine the
angle between the refracted blue and red rays in the crown glass.

Expert Solution

Step 1: Given

Given

Angle of incidence is given as $theta subscript i equals 29.60 degree$

Indices of refraction for blue light is $n subscript d equals 2.444$ (in diamond) and $n subscript c equals 1.531$ (in crown glass)

Indices of refraction for red light is $n subscript d equals 2.410$ (in diamond) and $n subscript c equals 1.520$ (in crown glass)

Formula

We know from Snell's law $bold italic n subscript bold d bold italic s bold italic i bold italic n bold italic theta subscript bold i bold equals bold italic n subscript bold c bold italic s bold italic i bold italic n bold italic theta subscript bold r$ ......................(1)

Here $theta subscript r$ is the angle of refraction.
