Chapter 23 Problem 77

Question

If the apex angle of a prism is \(\phi=75^\circ\) (see Fig. 23–63), what is the minimum incident angle for a ray if it is to emerge from the opposite side (i.e., not be totally internally reflected), given \(n = 1.58\)?

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 23 problem number 77 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: If the apex angle of a prism is \(\phi=75^\circ\) (see Fig. 23–63), what is the minimum incident angle for a ray if it is to emerge from the opposite side (i.e., not be totally internally reflected), given \(n = 1.58\)?
From the textbook chapter Light: Geometric Optics you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
