Help me solve the following table. Angle of incidence (?i) is 65, angle uncertainty (??) is 1. I tried (1*2.4919*pi)/180 * ((1/tan65)+(1/tan22)) = ?n, but it said the answer was wrong, and i don't know how to continue from there. So, the answer cannot be 4.8838.

A small drop of water that is free to fall in air will contract into a spherical ball. Suppose that sunlight (this will be as if from infinity) passes into the drop. Approximately where will an image of the Sun form? Water has an index of refraction of about 1.33 for visible light, and to answer this question consider what happens when light passes through the first surface from air into the water. Where does it go? Hint: If in doubt about your math, try an experiment at home. You can use sunlight or a distant flashlight to illuminate a suspended water drop. At the back surface of the drop. Spherical drops cannot form an image. Close to the back far side of the drop, on the outside. Close to the back side of the drop, on the inside

A narrow beam of light is incident on the left side of the prism shown in the figure below. The prism is a right triangle, with two of its angles measuring 45°. A) The transmitted beam that exits the hypotenuse of the prism makes an angle of ? = 17.5° with the direction of the incident beam. What is the index of refraction of the prism? B) In part (a), we assumed the beam was monochromatic. Consider instead the case where the beam was composed of white light. Because the index of refraction differs for different wavelengths, the white light would be dispersed into constituent colors. Assume the index of refraction for blue wavelengths is 1.01n and for red wavelengths it is 0.99n, where n is the index of refraction found in part (a). What is the angular spread (in degrees) between red and blue light exiting the prism?
