How do prisms separate visible light? What is the difference between reflection and refraction? Given the following wave, explain how to find the wavelength. A ray of light moves from air (n = 1.00) into a piece of glass. In the air, the light has a wavelength equal to 672 nm. In t...
Prisms are refractive optics so they ...refract light. More glass, more refraction. How that affects the incoming light cone depends on the ...incoming light cone and its characteristics across the spectrum, which is techno babble for the design of the objective. But some prism effects are c...
How does the angle of minimum deviation produced by a prism change with an increase in (a) the wavelength of the incident light, and (b) the refracting angle of the prism? How are the angles of incidence and reflection related? When the measured angles are not ...
yes it appeared to refract the city light unlike fog which encloses it. A couple of points come from that. Firstly, if it’s something you’ve never seen in the five years you’ve lived there, then why would you suspect it’s part of an ongoing spraying program? Secondly, that ...
