Consider a horizontal ray of light falling on an equilateral triangular glass prism, as shown: The ray of light contains two colors, red and blue. Because the index of refraction of glass is different for the two colors,the light will disperse: the outgoing angleθ will be different for the red and for the bluelight. What are these two angles? (nblue =1.13, nred = 1.09) http://i68.tinypic.com/vigwty.jpg This is the link to the diagram of the problem. You can ignore the the words in the image. Focus on the diagram. THank you

Answer #1

1.
a. n = c/v
1.13 = (3 X 108 m/s)/v
v = 2.26x108 m/s
b. v1/v2 = L1/L2
(2.26x108 m/s)/(3x108 m/s) = L1/(1x10-6 m)
L1 = 7.52x10-7 m
