Answer:
(a) 47.08°
(b) 47.50°
Explanation:
Angle of incidence = 78.9°
<u>For blue light : </u>
Using Snell's law as:
Where,
Θ₁ is the angle of incidence
Θ₂ is the angle of refraction
n₂ is the refractive index for blue light which is 1.340
n₁ is the refractive index of air which is 1
So,
Angle of refraction for blue light = sin⁻¹ 0.7323 = 47.08°.
<u>For red light : </u>
Using Snell's law as:
Where,
Θ₁ is the angle of incidence
Θ₂ is the angle of refraction
n₂ is the refractive index for red light which is 1.331
n₁ is the refractive index of air which is 1
So,
Angle of refraction for red light = sin⁻¹ 0.7373 = 47.50°.
