Equation 31-14 gives the relation between the angle of deviation of a light ray incident on a spherical drop of water in terms of the incident angle and the index of refraction of water. (a) Assume that and derive an expression for Hint: If then (b) Use the result to show that the angle of incidence for minimum deviation is given by (c) The index of refraction for a certain red light in water is 1.3318 and the index of refraction for a certain blue light in water is 1.3435. Use the result of Part (a) to find the angular separation of these colors in the primary rainbow.
