a.
Write the index of refraction as a function of
a.
Answer to Problem 13PS
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The index of refraction n of a transparent material is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the material. Some common materials and their indices of refraction are air
For the prism shown in the figure,
Calculation:
Let us consider that the relation between the index of refraction and angle of deviation is given as below:
Also consider the following figure of prism,
To obtain the above relation in terms of
Hence, the index of refraction as a function of
b.
Find
