Question: Suppose the prism of Fig. 33-53 has apex angle =60oand index of refractionn=1.60 . (a) What is the smallest angle of incidence for which a ray can enter the left face of the prism and exit the right face? (b) What angle of incidence is required for the ray to exit the prism with an identical angle for its refraction, as it does in Fig. 33-53?

  1. The smallest angle of incidence for which a ray can enter the left face of the prism and exit the right face is 35.6o.
  2. The angle of incidence required for the ray to exit the prism with an identical angle of for its refraction is 53.1o.

Step by step solution

01

Given

The apex angle of the prism is, =60.0o

The Refractive index is, n=1.60

02

Understanding the concept

Using the concept of total internal reflection and critical angle, we can determine the results.

Formula:

Critical angle,c=sin-1n2n1

03

(a) Calculate The smallest angle of incidence for which a ray can enter the left face of the prism and exit the right face

If the original ray is incident at point A, the prism vertex is at point B, and the point where the interior ray strikes the right surface of the prism is the point C.

The angle between the line AB and the interior ray is the angle between the line AC and the interior ray is .

When the incident ray is at the minimum angle for which light can exit the prism, the light exits along the second face. That is, the angle of refraction at the second face is 90and the angle of incidence there for the interior ray is the critical angle for the total internal reflection.

Let 1 be the angle of incidence for the original incident ray; let be the angle of refraction at the first face, and let be the angle of incidence at the second face.

The law of refraction applied to point C, yields nsin3=1

sin3=1n=11.60=0.625

The interior angles of the triangle ABC must sum to 180.

So, +=180

Now,

=90-3=51.32

So,

=120-51.32=69.68o

Thus,

2=90-=21.32

The law of refraction, applied to point A , yields

.sin1=nsin2sin1=1.60sin21.32sin1=0.58171=sin-10.58171'=35.6

Thus, 1=35.6

04

(b) Calculate the angle of incidence requires for the ray to exit the prism with an identical angleθfor its refraction.

We apply the law of refraction to point C.

Since the angle of refraction, there is the same as the angle of incidence at A,

苍蝉颈苍胃3=蝉颈苍胃

Now, +=120o

=90o-3,

And =90-2, as before.

This means 2+3=60

Thus, the law of refraction leads to

localid="1662998883723" 蝉颈苍胃1=nsin60-2蝉颈苍胃1=nsin60肠辞蝉胃2-nsin60肠辞蝉胃2Fromthetrigonometryidentitysin(A-B)=sinAcosB-cosAsinB

Next, we apply the law of refraction to point A.

sin1=nsin2sin2=sin1n

Hence,

肠辞蝉胃2=1-sin22=1-1n2sin21

Now,

sin1=n1sin6001-1n2sin21-cos60sin1

1+cos60sin1=sin60n2-sin21

Squaring on both sides and solving it for 1 we get

sin1=nsin60o(1+cos60+sin2600sin1=1.60sin60o(1+cos60+sin2600

That gives

sin1=0.80

And hence,

1=53.1

Figure 33-31 shows the multiple reflections of a light ray along a glass corridor where the walls are either parallel or perpendicular to one another. If the angle of incidence at point a is30, what are the angles of reflection of the light ray at points b, c, d, e, and f?

Each part of Fig. 33-34 shows light that refracts through an interface between two materials. The incident ray (shown gray in the figure) consists of red and blue light. The approximate index of refraction for visible light is indicated for each material. Which of the three parts show physically possible refraction? (Hint: First consider the refraction in general, regardless of the color, and then consider how red and blue light refract differently?
