10. A light ray of given wavelength, initially in air, strikes a 90°
prism at P (see Fig. 39-53) and is refracted there and at Q to
such an extent that it just grazes the right-hand prism surface
at Q. (a) Determine the index of retraction of the prism for
this wavelength in terms of the angle of incidence , that
gives rise to this situation. (b) Give a numerical upper bound
for the index of refraction of the prism. Show, by ray dia-
grams, what happens if the angle of incidence at P is
(c) slightly greater or (d) slightly less than 0₁.

(b)
When light is incident on an interface between two materials with different index of
refraction, the angle of the refracted ray depends on the wavelength. However, the angle
of the reflected ray does not depend on the wavelength at all. Explain why this happens.
A ray of light is refracted through three different materials
(Fig. 23-49). Which material
has (a) the largest index of
refraction, (b) the smallest?
