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.

The refraction indices of materials vary slightly with temperature and with the wavelength of the light going through the material.

(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.
