The index of refraction for red light in water is 1.331, and that for blue light is 1.340. If a ray of white light enters the water at an angle of incidence of 83 degrees, what are the underwater angles of refraction for the blue and red components of the light?
dont you know snells law? n1sin(theta1) = n2sin(theta2)
64 and 58 degrees respectively.
Light: Check out the link below. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For other senses of this word, see light (disambiguation). Prism splitting lightLight is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength that is visible to the eye (visible light) or, in a technical or scientific context, electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength[1]. The elementary particle that defines light is the photon. The three basic dimensions of light (i.e., all electromagnetic radiation) are: Intensity, or alternatively amplitude, which is related to the perception of brightness of the light, Frequency, or alternatively wavelength, perceived by humans as the color of the light, and Polarization (angle of vibration), which is only weakly perceptible by humans under ordinary circumstances. Due to the wave-particle duality of matter, light simultaneously exhibits properties of both waves and particles. The precise nature of light is one of the key questions of modern physics.
