What is a laser beam?
Laser beam is a light beam propagating dominantly in one direction.
It is a beam of radiation produced from a laser.
Here given that,
refraction index of glass, n1= 1.52
refraction index of polystyrene plastic, n2 = 1.59
deflection angle, B = 22.6º
For the second surface,
B = 45º - 22.6º
B = 22.40º
Now from the formula of Snell's law:
n1 sinФ = n2 sin B
sin B / sinФ = n1 / n2
sinФ = (sin 22.40º) * ( 1/ 1.59)
Ф = 37.29º
Hence,
The deflection angle is 37.29º if the prism was made of polystyrene plastic.
