The figure below shows a monochromatic beam of light striking the right-hand face of a right-angle prism at normal incidence. If ?t = 22.6°, what is the index of refraction of the prism? (Assume ? = 59.6°.)

Close
Step 1
The angle of incidence at the right-hand face of the prism is 0° since the light strikes at normal incidence. Show more…

Light impinges upon a regular right pentagonal prism as illustrated_ The light is incident upon the surface at an angle of 35" relative to the normal to the surface_ Determine the angle BE, measured relative to the normal, at which the light exits the prism: The prism has an index of refraction of 1.8.
