Consider a beam of light from the left entering a prism of apex angle Φ as shown. Two angles of incidence, θ1 and θ3, are shown as well as two angles of refraction, θ2 and θ4. Show that Φ = θ2 + θ3.
A ray of light travels through air until it strikes the interface between the air and another medium. The incident ray makes an angle of
?1 = 41.0°
with the normal, as shown in the figure below. Upon passage into the second medium, the ray is refracted, emerging from the interface at an angle
?2
with respect to the normal.
A light ray in air is moving down and to the right and is incident on a second medium. It makes an angle ?1 with the vertical. Inside the vertical, it continues to move down and to the right but at a steeper slope than the incident ray. It makes an angle ?2 with the vertical.
