The index of refraction for silicate flint glass is 1.66

Chapter , Problem 30

(choose chapter or problem)

The index of refraction for silicate flint glass is 1.66 for violet light that has a wavelength in air equal to and for red light that has a wavelength in air equal to A ray of red light and a ray of 400-nm-wavelength violet light both have angles of refraction equal to upon entering the glass from air. (a) Which is greater, the angle of incidence of the ray of red light or the angle of incidence of the ray of violet light? Explain your answer. (b) What is the difference between the angles of incidence of the two rays?
