Medium

(Originais Teachy 2025) - Question Medium of Physics

A beam of white light hits the entrance face of a triangular prism that has a prism angle of 60°. Given that the refractive index of the prism material for the incoming light is 1.50, use Snell's law to work out the angular displacement caused by the light moving through the prism.
a.
The angular displacement caused by the light passing through the prism is approximately 40.0°.
b.
The angular displacement caused by the light passing through the prism is approximately 35.0°.
c.
The angular displacement caused by the light passing through the prism is approximately 45.0°.
d.
The angular displacement caused by the light passing through the prism is approximately 30.0°.
e.
The angular displacement caused by the light passing through the prism is approximately 37.2°.
