Question
(II) The block of glass (n = 1.5) shown in cross section inFig. 32-51 is surrounded by air. A ray of light enters theblock at its left-hand face with incident angle 6\ andreemerges into the air from the right-hand face directedparallel to the blocksbase. Determine 6 i. FIGURE 32-51 46.
Solution
The first step in solving 32 problem number 46 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (II) The block of glass (n = 1.5) shown in cross section inFig. 32-51 is surrounded by air. A ray of light enters theblock at its left-hand face with incident angle 6\ andreemerges into the air from the right-hand face directedparallel to the blocksbase. Determine 6 i. FIGURE 32-51 46.
