Light enters a prism of crown glass and refracts at an angle of 5.00 with respect to the normal at the interface. The crown glass has a mean index of refraction of 1.51. It is combined with one flint glass prism (n = 1.65) to produce no net deviation. a. Find the apex angle of the flint glass. b.

For flint glass using the same wavelengths, nv = 1.665 and nr = 1.645. Find the net dispersion.
A light ray travels from vacuum into a slab of material with index of refraction n1 at incident angle θ with respect to the surface. It subsequently passes into a second slab of material with index of refraction n2 before passing back into vacuum again. The surfaces of the different materials are all parallel to one another. As the light exits the second slab, what can be said of the final angle ϕ that the outgoing light makes with the normal? (a) ϕ > θ (b) ϕ < θ (c) ϕ = θ (d) The angle depends on the magnitudes of n1 and n2. (e) The angle depends on the wavelength of the light.

White light enters flint glass from air (n₁ = 1). The angle of incidence is 8, = 63 degrees. Due to dispersion in the glass, the index of refraction for red light is 1.662, while the index for violet light is 1.698. Due to this difference, the violet and red parts of white light are refracted by different amounts. What is the difference in refraction angle (AO) between violet and red fin this situation?
