Query:
what is the relationship between the incident angle of light with respect to the index of refraction of a triangular prism? can someone help me. I am becoming more confused. like if the overall index of refraction of a prism is smaller regardless of how small the angle of incidence it still will be refracted. and the greater the index of refraction there are instances when the smaller the angle of incidence such as 30 degrees no refraction of light will occur? This hypothesis was based on my observation with my performed simulation. Can someone answer this. Please. would mean a lot. thanks
