Question

The index of refraction for red light in water is 1.331 and that for blue light is 1.340 . If a ray of white light enters the water at an angle of incidence of $83.00^{\circ},$ what are the underwater angles of refraction for the (a) blue and (b) red components of the light?

Step 1

For red light: $n_1 = 1$ (index of refraction for air) $n_2 = 1.331$ (index of refraction for red light in water) $\theta_1 = 83.00^\circ$ Plugging in the values: $1 \times \sin(83.00^\circ) = 1.331 \times \sin(\theta_2)$ $\sin(\theta_2) = Show more…
