Question:

Assuming that Plexiglas or Lucite has an index of retraction of 1.50 in the visible region, compute the angle of emission of visible Cherenkov radiation for electrons and protons as a function of their kinetic energies in MeV. Determine how many quanta with wavelengths between 4000 and 6000 A are emitted per centimeter of path in Lucite by a 1 MeV electron, a 500 MeV proton, and a 5 GeV proton.
