Question
A beam of sunlight encounters a plate of crown glass at a $45.00^{\circ}$ angle of incidence. Using the data in Table $26.2$, find the angle between the violet ray and the red ray in the glass.
Step 1
First, we need to find the index of refraction for both the violet and red rays in the crown glass. According to Table 26.2, the index of refraction for violet light (wavelength 400 nm) in crown glass is 1.532, and for red light (wavelength 700 nm) is 1.513. Show more…

A ray of sunlight is passing from diamond into crown glass; the angle of incidence is $35.00^{\circ} .$ The indices of refraction for the blue and red components of the ray are: blue $\left(n_{\text { diamood }}=2.444, n_{\text { cromgless }}=1.531\right)$ and red $\left(n_{\text { dianood }}=2.410, n_{\text { crown glass }}=1.520\right) .$ Determine the angle between the refracted blue and red rays in the crown glass.
The index of refraction for a certain type of glass is $1.640$ for blue light and $1.605$ for red light. When a beam of white light (one that contains all colors) enters a plate of this glass at an incidence angle of $40^{\circ}$, what is the angle in the glass between the blue and red parts of the refracted beam?
