Refraction works according to Snell's law: n¡ sin 01 = n2 sin 02. Suppose the first medium is a vacuum and the white light coming in at an angle of 60 degrees (from the normal). The second medium has an index of refraction that is wavelength dependent. If the output angles are 30 degrees and 45 degrees for red and blue respectively, find the index of refraction in each case.

Refraction works according to Snell's law:
nį sin 01 = n2 sin 02.
Suppose the first medium is a vacuum and the
white light coming in at an angle of 60 degrees
(from the normal). The second medium has an
index of refraction that is wavelength
dependent. If the output angles are 30 degrees
and 45 degrees for red and blue respectively,
find the index of refraction in each case.
Expert Solution
Concept
Using Snell's Law
n1 Sin(θ1) = n2 Sin(θ2)
Where
θ1 = incidence angle
θ2 = Refraction angle
n1 = index of refraction of incidence medium
n2 = index of refraction of refraction medium
