A beam of white light in air is incident on a diamond
Not what you're looking for?
A beam of white light in air is incident on a diamond, with an angle of incidence of 45 deg. Calculate the angle at which red light is transmitted in the diamond when n=2.410 for a diamond. Calculate the same for deep blue light when n= 2.45 for a diamond. What is the angle from red to deep blue, into which white light is spread?
