Question

Using filters, a physicist has created a beam of light consisting of three wavelengths: 400 nm (violet), 500 nm (green), and 650 nm (red). She aims the beam so that it passes through air and then enters a block of crown glass. The beam enters the glass at an incidence angle of ?1 = 45.3°. The glass block has the following indices of refraction for the respective wavelengths in the light beam. wavelength (nm) 400 500 650 index of refraction n_400 nm = 1.53 n_500 nm = 1.52 n_650 nm = 1.51 (a) Upon entering the glass, are all three wavelengths refracted equally, or is one bent more than the others? Options: - 400 nm light is bent the most - 500 nm light is bent the most - 650 nm light is bent the most - all colors are refracted alike (b) What are the respective angles of refraction (in degrees) for the three wavelengths? (Enter each value to at least two decimal places.) (i) ?_400 nm = ____ ° (ii) ?_500 nm = ____ ° (iii) ?_650 nm = ____ °

The glass block has the following indices of refraction for the respective wavelengths in the light beam.

wavelength (nm)    400     500     650
index of refraction n_400 nm = 1.53   n_500 nm = 1.52   n_650 nm = 1.51

(a) Upon entering the glass, are all three wavelengths refracted equally, or is one bent more than the others?

Options:
- 400 nm light is bent the most
- 500 nm light is bent the most
- 650 nm light is bent the most
- all colors are refracted alike

(b) What are the respective angles of refraction (in degrees) for the three wavelengths? (Enter each value to at least two decimal places.)

(i) ?_400 nm = ____ °
(ii) ?_500 nm = ____ °
(iii) ?_650 nm = ____ °
