Question:
Figure shows a glass prism of index of refraction n = 1.52 in the shape of an isosceles triangle with base angles of 45o.
(a) Find the maximum angle of incidence of the beam incident on the side face so that it suffers total internal reflection at the base.
(b) What is the maximum value of the index of refraction of the prism so that the light beam will suffer total internal reflection at the base whatever the angle ofincidence?
Step by Step Answer:
Let 1 be the angle of incidence on the side face 2 ...View the full answer

The law of reflection states that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence ???????? = ???????? A bouncing ball obeys the “law of reflection,” which says that the ball leaves the surface at the same angle it approached the surface. The ball’s next bounce is 3.0 m to the right of its first bounce.
