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.

Fig. 33-54, a beam of white light is incident at an-
50° on a common window pane (shown
in cross section). For the pane's type of glass, the
index of refraction for visible light ranges from
1.524 at the blue end of the spectrum to 1.509 at
the red end. The two sides of the pane are paral-
lel. What is the angular spread of the colors in the
beam (a) when the light enters the pane and
(b) when it emerges from the opposite side?
(Hint: When you look at an object through a window pane, are
the colors the light from the object dispersed as shown in, say,
